One cost many owners may question is pet insurance. How does it work and is it worth it? We spoke with Brian Macias, President of Embrace Pet Insurance. "People think of their pets in the same way that they do their family members and their children," Macias said. "And so therefore, they wanna deliver the same quality of life to their pets that they do their family members. And that includes the health care pets receive -- and really that's affected the whole industry." Just as medical advancements over the last 20 years have dramatically changed the health care we receive, the same goes for our pets. From cancer care, orthopedic treatments and breed-specific health issues, veterinary medicine is helping our fur babies live longer, healthier lives. But it can be very expensive. "In the first quarter of this year, we saw 10-12 percent inflation in the vet industry and we really don't see any signs of that slowing down," Macias pointed out.
