You love your pet? Do you treat your pet like family. Like many pet owners, you are willing to spend a lot to care for your dog, cat, bird or whatever furry friend you have at home. At one point you probably have made a visit the veterinarian and it was not cheap.
Realizing an opportunity, some insurers have offered pet insurance to help pet owners defray the high cost of medical treatment for their pets. However, buyers beware. Pet insurance is not health insurance. In fact, the policies fall under property insurance and policyholders should not expect a visit to the vet to be covered in the same way that a visit to their doctor is covered.
In California, one legislator is trying to push a bill through the state legislature that will force insurers to be transparent about the breath of coverage and no longer leave consumers guessing about what precisely they are paying for.

On a personal note, I hope to get back to posting regularly on my blog after taking a mental vacation of sorts.
