I just returned from a big blogging conference for women. Blogher has been holding these once a year big events for about 5 years, I think. I've been to every one, and spoken at 4 of them. I spoke at this one, too. It was in Chicago.
What has a women's blogging conference got to do with Pet Health Insurance from PurinaCare®? Well, this conference was a Mommy Blogger conference and women from all over the country brought their kids with them. We're talking tiny kids - babies - and toddlers. While it was all fun and delight, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if one of those kids took sick?
Years ago, on a trip with my two daughters, my youngest suffered food poisoning (we think) and we pretty sick for most of the trip. She wasn't so sick I needed to take her to the local clinic or emergency room, but I can tell you I would not have hesitated, if her stomach "flu" symptoms had not improved overnight.
As I watched the toddlers play with each other at Blogher, and the Moms engaging with each other, I wondered how many of those Moms would risk not having health insurance - not just for well-baby visits, but for emergencies. The answer, I'm very certain, is none of them would dare not have health insurance, especially when traveling so far from home.
Health insurance is a big in the news these days. Honestly, in America, we expect to have healthcare for our families. So...shouldn't we also be insuring our pets? Aren't pets family, too? You tell me that - those of you who write to me or leave comments here and on Scratchings and Sniffings. You gush over your precious dogs and cats (just as I do) but...I have not heard any of you chime in on the benefits of pet
health care - or PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance.
Shouldn't we pet parents at least LOOK at the options? Shouldn't we be asking the right questions (yours are probably different than mine, so share them here - or hop over to the website and ask them there). Shouldn't we protect our dogs and cats the same way we protect our kids?
Well, shouldn't we???
