Injuries Caused by Housemates

What is this?

There is a reason the saying “fighting like cats and dogs” is so prevalent – it’s true. Our pets show us so much love and while most enjoy playing with their furry siblings, sometimes one pet may cross the line between being playful and seeming aggressive… andthe other pet willlet them know. Pets do and will fight – they are animals, and it is in their nature. And, while many injuries may be superficial, sometimes they can do serious damage to one another.
 

How does this affect you?

A fight between pets is scary enough, so when it includes both (or more) of your furry family, you want to be sure your pet insurance plan reimburses for injuries all pets sustain. Unforutnately, injuries caused by housemates can be quite expensive. The average vet bill for a fight between animals is $1,138.07, with some as high as $8,521.29. A hefty price tag – especially if you have more than one pet that is injured.
