The short answer: They don’t know enough about it! The long answer: read more. Here are our 5 reasons people (mistakenly) dislike pet insurance.
While pet insurance has been around for quite some time now, at times, it doesn’t get the best reputation. Why exactly would a pet need medical insurance? Well, the truth is that you run the risk of emotional and financial vulnerability if you don’t.
And so, if you are one of those people who isn’t the biggest fan of pet insurance, give us 5 minutes of your time. Who knows, maybe we will change your mind?
The most common reasons people hate pet insurance & how Oneplan disproves them
Reason #1: The industry jargon is too complicated
We totally get this complaint! While our team may know the insurance jargon very, very well, that doesn’t mean most people do. When new and difficult words are thrown your way, it makes it hard to engage. It’s totally off-putting. We all have enough stressors in our lives, and trying to break down what a pet policy means shouldn’t be one of them.
Thankfully, Oneplan Pet Insurance is all about simplicity. Our aim is to make pet insurance accessible to every single person, which means keeping the phrasing short and simple. And in the event that we do have to use a more complicated industry term, we will definitely explain it to you in layman terms, so there is no confusion!
Reason #2: It is too expensive
In today’s day and age, very few households have flexible funds to just throw around. So, when it comes to adding a new debit order to the list, it’s got to be a good one. A common myth and misconception is that pet insurance will totally break the bank. The fact that the rumour mill says that pet policies aren’t affordable makes people hate it.
Well, this ends today because in a few clicks through our website you will realise that pet insurance with us is very affordable. We continue to look at average household incomes, expenses and crunch the numbers to keep our prices very low. That way you can now have access to veterinary excellence at a price that is reasonable.
Reason #3: Pet emergencies aren’t even common
See, the thing is that most people believe that pet emergencies aren’t common until they experience it themselves and add to the harrowing statistics. It is so important that you understand that statistically pet emergencies are more common than you might realise – oh, and they come at a hefty price too!
Every 1 in 3 pets experiences some medical emergency at some point in their lives. Make sure to read that sentence and let it settle in. The best way to find support on both an emotional and financial level is with pet insurance where we will not only take out the billing stress associated with your pet’s medical care but the financial responsibilities too.
Reason #4: The claims process is too complicated
Time and time again we see that most people aren’t keen on taking out an insurance policy based on the fact that the insurance company’s claims process is too complicated. Not only do they require so much documentation and information that you’re instantly put off, but at times, even if you do submit everything, it takes ages before that money is released.
Again, you should have noticed by now that Oneplan Pet Insurance is all about simplicity and accessibility. You shouldn’t have to see getting your money back as an uphill battle, which is why we have two systems that will make your life so much easier once you get that vet bill.
We have created the easiest claims system ever (well, we certainly think so) AND we have created an exclusive Onecard. This card allows you to be paid BEFORE you even see your vet (which is a total must-have!).
Reason #5: People don’t want to do the research
The truth is that many people aren’t keen on dedicating a little time to finding out for themselves whether or not pet insurance is worth it. They hear one horror story and run with it. But the truth is that we have witnessed the power of pet insurance time and time again. We want you to experience these wonders too, but you’ve got to meet us halfway.
Our website is the greatest and easiest breakdown of pet insurance you will encounter. Better yet, our incredible team is always on standby to help you make sense of pet insurance. We would hate to think that you wouldn’t grant your pet access to the greatest preventative care strategy EVER because of misinformation.
You owe it to your pet to be committed to their health and wellbeing, and that means making sure they have access to quality veterinary care when they need it most. So, if you’re ready to find out if pet insurance is right for you and your pet, get a Oneplan Pet Insurance quote today.
