Pet insurance claims are common around Halloween

This celebration can cause a large exposure to hazards for animals. Though Halloween can be a wonderfully fun and exciting time of the year, some of the elements that make it an enjoyable celebration can present significant risks to the health of an animal, leading to some of the largest numbers of pet insurance claims. One insurer reported that claims related to candy were 245 percent higher during that week last year. Statistics from Petplan pet insurance showed that claims related to candy skyrocketed during the week surrounding Halloween, and were nearly 250 percent higher than at any other time in 2011.
