Our pet insurance plans at Mitten Heritage Fraternal Society of Insurance in Berville, MI may be reimbursement-based or directly paid to the vet after any deductibles. Let’s discuss the most common pet insurance plan types.

Policies to Protect Pet Wellness and Your Wallet

There are several plan options available for pet insurance, and it’s likely that we accept most provider’s policies. Some to consider include:

Comprehensive Coverage

If you want your pet to have the best coverage possible, choosing a comprehensive policy is the way to go. Often called a “nose-to-tail” policy, this option covers:

  • Routine Checkups & Wellness Plans
  • Vaccinations
  • Diagnostic Testing
  • Injuries
  • Chronic & Hereditary Conditions
  • Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention

Accident and Illness Coverage

These policies generally cover veterinary bills related to physical injuries and hereditary and common conditions. Serious conditions, such as cancer, are also covered. However, routine wellness exams, vaccinations and other routine preventives are not covered under this policy.

Pet Wellness Coverage

For pet owners only looking to cover routine veterinary checkups and wellness-related expenses such as vaccinations and pest prevention this is an affordable plan. Those who want extra protection can add this coverage to an illness or accident plan.

Accident-Only Coverage

If a pet is injured in an accident, this policy will help cover related expenses. However, no illness-related or wellness coverage is included.

Chimney Safety Tips

Leaning towards an old wood-burning fireplaces to help cut your heating bill this winter? Before you spark a log you should know, fireplaces and chimneys are involved in 42% of all home-heating fires. So before you use your fireplace, ensure you know how to properly use it and follow these safety tips.

  1. Hire a chimney sweep – The National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys be swept at least once a year to remove soot and debris. A professional chimney sweep should also inspect for any damages.
  2. Cap your chimney – Chimney caps will keep rain, birds, squirrels, and debris from entering your chimney. Repair or replace a missing or damaged cap.
  3. Burn seasoned hardwood – Choose dense wood that has been split and stored in a high and dry place for at least 6 months.
  4. Don’t overload – Small fires generate less smoke and less creosote buildup. Large, hot fires can potentially crack your chimney.
  5. Build it right – Place logs at the rear of the fireplace on a metal grate. Use kindling instead of flammable liquids to start the fire.
  6. Use a spark guard. Spark guards will prevent embers from shooting out of the fireplace. A guard in front of the fireplace is especially important when the room is unoccupied.

Winter is coming. It will be here before we know it. Get everything prepared for the cold months now before it’s too late! Stay warm and safe all winter long. Another good tip is to contact our agency to review your homeowners insurance policy before you strike a match.
