Pet insurance brings peace of mind
by Ontario SPCA and Humane Society | General Pet Care | December 11, 2025
As pet parents, we want nothing more than for our animals to live long, healthy, happy lives. We keep them safe, feed them well, and give them endless love, but unexpected health complications can arise no matter how careful we are. From sudden injuries to chronic illnesses, veterinary bills can quickly add up. That’s where pet insurance becomes an essential part of responsible pet parenting.
The cost of veterinary care
Veterinary medicine is advancing rapidly. Today, pets benefit from high-quality diagnostics, surgery, emergency care, and specialty treatments. These services help our animals recover faster and live healthier lives, but they also come at a cost.
A single emergency visit can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the condition. Without pet insurance, many families face difficult decisions during stressful moments.
Pet insurance helps ease that financial burden, allowing you to focus on what matters most: getting your pet the care they need.
Accidents happen even to the most careful pet parents
Whether it’s a swallowed sock, a tumble down the stairs, or a sudden allergic reaction, accidents can occur in a split second. Even indoor pets are not immune to unexpected mishaps.
Pet insurance offers peace of mind knowing you’re prepared for the unknown. When an emergency strikes, you won’t have to hesitate or worry about the cost before seeking help.
Choosing the right insurance
When cost isn’t a barrier, pet parents are much more likely to pursue recommended diagnostics, preventative treatments, and follow-up care. This leads to earlier detection, better management, and improved outcomes for furry family members.
Insurance can help cover:
- Veterinary exam fees
- Complete sick visits
- Emergency vet visits
- Specialist and virtual vet visits
- Holistic and chiropractic care
- Injuries, illnesses, and breed-specific conditions
- Behavioural therapy
- Cancer treatment
- Comprehensive dental care
- Diagnostic tests, imaging, and ultrasound
- Surgery and rehabilitation
Not all pet insurance is created equal, and coverage varies by plan. The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Pet Insurance offered by Fetch provides the most comprehensive pet insurance for cats and dogs.

A compassionate choice
Pets bring joy, companionship, and emotional comfort. The last thing any pet parent wants is financial stress in a moment of crisis.
Choosing pet insurance isn’t just a financial decision; it’s an act of compassion. It ensures that your furry family member has access to the best care throughout their life. No one can predict the future, but with the right insurance plan, you can be prepared for whatever comes your pet’s way.
