Medical costs are often government-subsidised for
humans. This is not the case for the costs of veterinary consultations,
diagnostic work or treatment for pets.
The good news is that there is now an excellent, cost-effective
medical insurance for NZ pets. At VetCare we strongly encourage pet
owners to investigate this option by contacting Pet Plan:
