Transcript

Today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. Question for any pet owners: of course, we all love our pets, but do you ever think about just how much joy and energy your pet brings to your household? Something that's been on my mind a lot recently because I spent a healthy chunk of the summer out of town away from our dog, Mozzie. And getting back to him really made me think about just how much he does for my quality of life, my mental health, and how I would do anything to keep his derpy little face bopping around next to me for as long as possible. I bring it up because today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. If you've ever found yourself awake at 2 a.m., phone in hand, Googling things like, is this normal for dogs or do I need to call a vet right now? You are not alone. Those unexpected moments are part of having a pet, which is exactly why ASPCA Pet Health Insurance exists. It helps take some of the financial stress out of vet care so you can focus more on your pet and less on the cost. The ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program offers customizable accident and illness plans that can fit your budget, your lifestyle, and even your pet's particular quirks.
