Many people have acquired new pets while they have been at home during COVID-19. These pets, as well as those that have been part of our lives for much longer, have provided us with much comfort and companionship during these difficult and unprecedented times. However, as the restrictions are lifted and we are able to go back to ‘the new normal’ (whatever that may be), we need to help our new pets transition too. This webinar will discuss how you can help your new pet during these times.

Pet insurance can help by covering a portion of the eligible vet bill if the unexpected happens. Because it is difficult to predict the costs of veterinary care, it can help to have measures in place to help prepare for the unexpected.
