Pet Insurance in Mississippi

Overview

We can help you compare companies and plans in one place. The Magnolia State is a great place for dogs and cats. Warm weather year round means outdoor activities 365 days a year.

Activity is good for our four-legged friends’ health, but sometimes accidents happen and trips to the vet are necessary. In some more serious cases a trip to the veterinary hospital is in order.

Veterinary Costs in Mississippi

If you haven’t experienced a veterinary hospital two things will stick out to you. First, you will be amazed how much a vet hospital looks like a human hospital. They are outfitted with a lot of the same diagnostic tools and technology that many hospitals and urgent care clinics carry.

The second thing you will notice is how expensive treatment is. As soon as you show up in a vet hospital the 2nd thing they are going to ask is how you’re going to pay. And if you can’t afford treatment they will not provide care for your pet. It’s that simple.

Bladder Stones – $50 to $500
Boxer Cardiomyopathy – $500 to $1,000
Broken Bones – $200 to $5,000
Cancer – $5,000 to $20,000
