The cost of owning a pet has gone up in recent years. New technology in medicine makes it possible for pets to undergo treatments similar to those available to humans for life-threatening diseases. And just as with humans, these treatments aren't cheap.
If you've never thought about buying health insurance for your pet, you might want to entertain the idea. From Liz Pulliam Weston at MSN Money, here are three reasons to consider pet insurance:
• More treatable diseases. Cancers and other once-fatal conditions for your pet can be treated and even cured. That's right. It's possible to have your pet receive radiation therapy or a kidney transplant. These procedures can cost $1,000 and up.
• New medical technology. Vets have more tools handy to assess a pet's health. These tests and screenings, such as MRIs, can be quite sophisticated.
• Inflation. Medical and technological advance-ments have pushed up vet fees.
