Why Banfield Pet Insurance

For more than the last 6 months I have had an eye on the Banfield Pet Hospital family. As you are probably aware the Banfield corporation runs one of the largest chains of pet hospitals in the United States (if not THE largest) and they have done so for quite some time now. One might think that running a business for so long might give you enough knowledge and experience to easily compete with other similar businesses that wants to treat pets for money.

Not to long ago I wrote an article called Banfield Pet Insurance Secrets Revealed on my premium pet insurance blog. That post along with some of the other Banfield related posts that I've made continues to attract a lot of pet owners that have been using Banfield's services and not being satisfied with it. People talk about everything from having a feeling of being sold to instead of being treated with respect like a customer should to VETs giving wrong recommendations resulting in more or less fatal results and larger hospital bills for the pet owners.

Amongst all the negative comments there are a few positive ones about how Banfield staff treated the pet owner wiht respect and in a professional manor. So even though you can statistically call it an investigation I think is says alot about the differences in the Banfield hospital portfolio.

What's that VIP insurance for pet all about?

Now we all know that the term "VIP" is normally used as short for Very Important Person but in reality it could just as well be for Very Important Pet. Some time ago I posted an article on the topic (you can find it here: http://www.petinsurancepro.com/vip-pet-insurance/).

In that article I talked about the fact that many pet owners will go to great lengths for their pets and often further that they would for themselves. And I would like to go a little into that discussion here but first I would like to clarify that there is no such thing as a "VIP Pet Insurance". You'll find lots of different insurance packages that offer premium coverage but no one (to my knowledge) has taken that term and made a product for it.

The reason I would like to talk about the fact that some people will do more for their pets than they would for them selves is that it can often end up hurting the pet as well. If you're doing all you can to keep your pet at its optimal health but you're neglecting your own then you are not able to exercise your pet as much as you should because you'll be out of breath. And the worst case scenario would be that you actually die before your pet because you had a stroke or something like that because you ate the wrong food and didn't do the exercise.

I hope you can see the irony in this and if it is you that I'm talking about then be sure to make this year the new beginning for you and your pet. Start small and take one little step at the time. Do it together with your pet and you'll quickly see how the both of you will become more fit and energetic and you'll also both become a lot happier.
