what’s the deal with pet insurance?

[PurpleFencepost]

so i was looking into this for my cat because vet bills are no joke but then i saw the fine print and it’s like… is this even worth it? they dont cover pre-existing stuff and half the time you still end up paying a ton out of pocket. is anyone here actually using pet insurance and finding it helpful or is it just another scam to make you feel better until something actually goes wrong? i get the idea but…

Pet insurance is not required in many countries. So, people pay out of their own pockets. Having said that, there are various governmental hospitals in my country and the bills are quite low. There are some private hospitals in my country as well. However, the charges of veterinarians are quite high there.

Governmental hospitals in several countries are far much cheaper. However, there might be a real problem when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness. Moreover, the staff may not be that much cooperative as well. Our family cat also eats and sleeps all day. However, some cats are very active.
