Protect Your Pets

Picture
Here at Brock-Norton Insurance Agency we all love our pets. Almost everyone in the office has a pet, and we would do anything to make sure our pets are happy and healthy.  As pet owners, we know that costs for Veterinary visits can be unpredictable.*

There are many reasons for the bill for your pet’s exam to be expensive. Your bill can include charges for:
  • Professional services, which may include the physical exam, medical exam, extended exam, and hospitalization patient exam. 
  • Diagnostic services, which may include blood pressure evaluation and more. 
  • Diagnostic imaging services, which could range from ultrasounds to radiographs. 
  • Lab work services, which may include collecting labs, running, and analyzing samples that test the blood chemistry for leukemia, other types of cancer, heartworms, thyroid, immunity, and much more. 
  • Surgical Procedures. 
  • Anesthesia for procedures, which could include intubation and monitoring.
  • Hospitalization services, which could possibly include overnight stays, inpatient monitoring and more. 

To go into some depth about the average costs of vet visits, most routine physical exams cost around $45 to $55. Most of the times those exams will include routine vaccinations. The average costs of those vaccinations per shot are between $15 and $28. Here are some additional costs for tests and services; 
  • Fecal Exams: $25-$45
  • Heartworm Tests: $45-$50
  • Dental Cleaning: $70-$400
  • Allergy Testing: $195-$200 for skin test and $200-$300 for blood test
  • Geriatric Screening: $85-$110

On average, the typical vet visit for dogs will cost between $200-$400 and $90-$200 for cats.  If an illness is discovered, the costs increase.  For example, if your dog’s heartworm test is positive, the treatment could cost between $400 and $1,000. Emergency treatment is another expense that can quickly add up and run up past $1,000. 
 
Pet Insurance is an option to help control these costs.  Safeco Insurance Company offers an affordable Pet Insurance policy.

  By prioritizing cybersecurity, organizations can mitigate the risk of data breaches, financial losses and reputational damage. Whether you're an individual or an organization, understanding the importance of cybersecurity is fundamental to navigating the threat landscape safely and securely.

Remote and hybrid work arrangements, increasingly sophisticated attackers, creative social engineering, and a rise in the number of passwords people use have all contributed to more cyber attacks. The results can be costly. Organizations that are ill-prepared or lacking in security and risk protocols will find themselves paying a hefty price both in reputation and financial loss.   While it’s nearly impossible to prevent all cyber attacks, your organization can reduce cyber risk by ensuring it’s prepared for the most common types of attacks.  The most common types of risk...

  In recent months, we have had several policy holders impacted by vehicle theft. Check out this brief blog for tips on how to reduce the likelihood of your vehicle being stolen! Vehicle theft is increasing and continues to plague the already strained Auto Insurance Market. With premiums on the rise, inventory low and the time and cost to repair skyrocketing, cars are more expensive to obtain and maintain than ever. Across the country there is a 34% spike of stolen vehicles compared to last year. In DC alone there was a spike of 113% of car thefts compared to 2022.
