Pet Insurance


Pet insurance is insurance for your pet which indemnifies against any medical related costs! There are many obvious benefits for pet parents who love their animal. It’s important to understand how it works, the types of coverage that exist for pets, and also the benefits that this insurance provides.


Pet insurance is for pet owners: typically dog and cat owners, but not limited to those two. Dog insurance and cat insurance, like any insurance policy, works in that it has coverage up to the amount which a policy dictates. The amount that is to be paid per month is commensurate to how much coverage is allowed on the policy. Thus, a better policy coverage amount requires a higher monthly payment.


Most surgeries for dogs and cats cost thousands of dollars, yet the low monthly dog insurance or cat insurance plan can help alleviate the cost and still provide the necessary care for pet owners who inevitably find themselves with a sick or injured pet. It’s sad when it does happen and most people think that it won’t happen to their pet until it actually does. Accordingly, there are varying types of insurance for pets. Nearly all major accidents and illnesses are covered by most coverage plans.



Things like dental disease coverage, preexisting or hereditary conditions, behavioral issues, grooming, hip dysplasia, and routine checkups are covered under better plans. The way that it works is that pet owners must first pay out of pocket and then file for a claim. Once inspected and approved, a check for the amount filed will be mailed within three business days to your address on file. It starts out by pet owners paying a deductible amount up front. After this, 50% to 100% of the monthly bill will be reimbursed by the insurer. Each policy has a maximum annual amount which will cap how much can be covered, and these are based on averaged expenditure statistics for pets needing care that has been collected over many years. There are some additional factors involved in determining how much the monthly cost is for the pet owner; Namely these factors are species, breed, age and location.
