Pets have a positive impact on mental health and well-being, but pet insurance in Ireland is relatively low compared to other countries. The cost of maintaining a pet can be high, and medical treatment costs can significantly increase. Pet insurance is not as well-known or widely advertised in Ireland.
Ultimately, the decision to get pet insurance depends on individual circumstances and the willingness and ability to pay for veterinary care. Vets ask about insurance to understand what steps to take. Gold standard pet care covers everything regardless of cost, but it can be expensive.
