Why pet insurance is important if you live in Minnesota
All pet owners can benefit from insurance coverage in case of emergency. But there are a few specific health risks for pets living in Minnesota.
Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis, or “lepto,” is caused by bacteria found in soil and water, including in Minnesota. The disease affects people and pets, and is zoonotic—meaning it can be transmitted to humans from animals.
The disease spreads through contact with infected urine, contaminated soil/water/food and bites from infected animals.
Lyme disease
Spread through bites from infected ticks, Lyme disease affects people and animals around the world, particularly in Minnesota.
Check your pets for ticks after time spent outdoors, and talk to your veterinarian about tick prevention products that are right for your pet, or if a Lyme disease vaccine is recommended.
Blue-green algae poisoning
Blue-green algae thrives in fresh water during warm, sunny weather, with blooms often occuring in Minnesota. Never let your pet drink or swim in water that has bluish-green scum on the surface, as the algae is toxic and very dangerous.
If your pet goes for a swim in any body of water, rinse thoroughly afterwards—just to be safe.
