Start with the four choices that shape the price

Pet insurance premiums usually move with your pet's age, breed, location, deductible, reimbursement percentage, annual limit, and optional wellness benefits. A cheaper quote can still be useful if the exclusions, claim rules, and renewal terms fit your pet's likely care needs.

  • Decide whether you need accident-only coverage or accident and illness coverage.
  • Compare the same deductible, reimbursement level, and annual limit across carriers.
  • Read waiting periods, bilateral condition language, dental rules, and pre-existing condition definitions.
  • Check whether exam fees, prescription medication, rehab, and alternative therapy are included.
