If you follow my blog, you probably know that we have a dog–Aries. She is a chocolate lab. She is out first baby. To us, she is a beloved member of our family. We want the best for her. Just like we do for Lucas. Like me, most of the nation’s 70 million pet owners, pets are family too. And when pets get sick or injured, most of us are willing to spend almost whatever it takes to get them back on all four feet. But all pet owners know that veterinary care does not come cheap, as a matter of fact, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) vet bills last year in the U.S. topped $11 billion!

I remember one unsuspecting afternoon a few years ago, Aries was outside playing fetch with the neighbor. I was watching–amazed at how incredibly accurate Aries is at catching the frisbee when all of a sudden I see her trip and go flying across the yard. The yelping and crying that came from her was heart wrenching. I ran to her and quickly inspected her to find that one of her toes was hanging on by a thread. I frantically took her inside and tried to put together a makeshift bandage and got her into the car. I was shaking and nervous. I was all alone and needed to get her to the vet. When I got to the vet, they told me it would cost $1,200 to get her fixed up. When I told them that I didn’t have that much–I could pay half now and half later. They told me SORRY BUT NO. I had to leave–with Aries limping, bleeding, and crying. I finally found a vet that was willing to put me on a payment plan. However, not everyone is that lucky. That’s why I was so excited when I found out that Kroger Personal Finance (KPF) is now offering an “accident only” pet insurance policy for $9.95 per month per pet.

Kroger Personal Finance® (KPF), a Kroger joint venture that brings together a wide array of quality financial products and services from preferred providers for Kroger customers, is making pet health insurance information available in the check lanes of more than 2,400 supermarkets operated by Kroger, the nation’s largest traditional grocery store operator. At $9.95 per month, Kroger’s pet insurance allows pet owners to have some peace of mind knowing that in an emergency situation, they won’t need to worry about coming up with unbudgeted veterinary expense. This would have come in handy that horrible afternoon a few years ago.

If you’re a pet owner and are interested in pet health insurance, make sure to inquire at your local Kroger or online. Many pet insurance plans are available–starting at $9.95. For those of you that don’t have a Kroger, the insurance is available online and at most of the Kroger banner stores – Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralph’s, King Soopers, etc.
