Why do I need Pet Insurance?

Drive a car, truck, motorcycle? Then you need to be insured – pet insurance is non-negotiable. Besides the fact it’s a legal requirement in all but two US states (we’re looking at you, New Hampshire and Virginia), if you drive a car, you need to have o insurance. Why? Well, it gives you some financial protection if your car is damaged or stolen — and it does the same if you damage another car.
