Asking if a pet is insured is not a ‘swear word’ or a way to find out if we can get all that extra money from insurers. The treatment cost is the same. I ask because I may discuss the course of treatment in the animals best interests and that owner may feel the need to go in to financial difficulty by going with that recommendation because it’s the best one and they love their pet they want the best for them even though they can’t afford it. I want to be prepared for those types of conversations. Or because we may not do direct claims with that company and the owner may be basing their decisions on the assumption we will. It’s an open discussion. It’s not a dirty sneaky discussion and I genuinely don’t understand why it offends people so much.
