Why pet insurance is important if you live in New York
All pet owners can benefit from insurance coverage in case of emergency. But there are a few specific health risks for pets living in New York.
Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis, or “lepto,” is caused by bacteria found in soil and water, including in New York. The disease affects people and pets, and is zoonotic—meaning it can be transmitted to humans from animals.
The disease spreads through contact with infected urine, contaminated soil/water/food and bites from infected animals.
Lyme disease
Spread through bites from infected ticks, Lyme disease affects people and animals around the world, particularly in New York.
Check your pets for ticks after time spent outdoors, and talk to your veterinarian about tick prevention products that are right for your pet, or if a Lyme disease vaccine is recommended.
Antifreeze poisoning
Pets are often attracted to antifreeze thanks to its sweet taste. The active ingredient in automotive antifeeze can also be found in de-icing products, some brake fluids, and common household chemicals like paints and solvents.
Seek immediate veterinary help in case of antifreeze exposure.
Discover our comprehensive coverage and make sure your favorite companion is protected from all of New York’s potential risks.
