Pet Insurance Review

I was reading some articles in a pet insurance review and came across this one below. It talks about some fairly controversial ideas regarding pets and of course this would have an effect on pet insurance. Some animal welfare organizations have proposed that the term companion animal be used instead of pet. The term pet may also be applied to humans, usually in an endearing way by a lover, significant other, or partner. Calling another person a pet, though, can just as easily be considered an insult. In veterinary medicine, dogs and cats are often considered "common" pets, while all other animals are grouped into either farm animals such as horses, cows, sheep and exotics including pocket pets, birds, reptiles. Having a pet or being a pet can promote a longer, happier life. It has been proven that keeping pets helps to remove or at least reduce stress. Everyday needs of pets like walking a dog can also offer the pet and owner with exercise, fresh air, and the opportunity for social contact. Local humane societies, SPCA's and other animal protection organizations urge people to spay or neuter their pets and to adopt animals from shelters instead of purchasing them from breeders or pet stores. Many cities and towns have local ordinances limiting the number of pets a person may have, and may also restrict or forbid certain pets such as fowl or exotics. Some of the many animals kept as pets around the world are: horses, dogs, cats, rodents, including hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, gerbils, chinchillas, flying squirrels, rats, rabbits, ferrets, hedgehogs, goats, alpacas, small pigs, monkeys, birds, budgies, other parrot species, canaries and other finch species, tortoises, lizards, iguanas and snakes to name a few. The pet insurance review pointed out that many of these pet need exotic pet insurance coverage.
