Why Get Pet Insurance In New York?

Here are some common dangers faced by pets in New York:

Extreme Temps

Living in the Empire State means dealing with extreme temperatures- from frigid winter weather to record-high heat in the summer, it's important to keep your four-legged friends safe. Just like us, pets can get hypothermia and frostbite from being out in the cold. But when the weather heats up, it can be just as dangerous for your pets to be out and about with the risk of overheating, dehydration, heatstroke, and burned paws.

Kennel Cough

In certain areas of New York, backyards are rare, so walks around the block or visits to the park are typical. When you bring your pup to the dog park, there's a risk of them catching kennel cough, a contagious respiratory illness. This is especially common for dogs living in busy urban areas like NYC.

Gastrointestinal Issues

Hot dogs, pizza, roasted nuts—all quintessential NYC street foods. Unfortunately, some of these snacks end up on the sidewalk, and our dogs have an incredible talent for sniffing them out and devouring them faster than a New York minute. If your pup eats something they shouldn’t, you’ll want to make sure their tummy troubles are covered.
