This is a great question! I definitely do recommend pet insurance, as it can be a literal lifesaver. I recommend that you inquire about any caps put on amount reimbursed per condition or per year, as these can be restrictive, so you may want to avoid plans that include caps. Some pet insurance is made just for accident or illness coverage, and others offer preventative care and dental coverage as well. You can decide on which types of plans you are interested in based on what kind of care Koko needs.
