Get the best coverage for your best friend.

You love your pet, so the decision to take care of him or her is a simple one for you and your family. But is your furry friend protected the same way the rest of the family is?

The truth is, veterinary costs can be high.

Average Vet Costs Per Year

According to a 2017 Pet Industry Spending Analysis, the average yearly veterinary cost for a dog is $1,529 and for a cat is $1,013.

With this being said, many pets will cost less annually, and some will cost much more. However, despite rising veterinary care costs, less than 1% of pet owners have pet health insurance, leaving them fully responsible for vet bills.

This financial burden can be a huge strain for pet owners. A recent survey by the Associated Press found that 41 percent of pet owners are extremely or somewhat worried they could not afford the medical bills for a sick cat or dog. Pet insurance can help resolve that worry.

So how does pet insurance work?

Like people insurance, pet policies come with a variety of deductibles, co-payments, and premiums.

Coverage for Your Pets

  • Coverage available for accidents and illness with the option of adding preventive care coverage at an additional cost.

  • Choose from a range of different annual limits, deductibles, and reimbursement percentages.

  • You’ll have the freedom to choose any veterinarian, specialist, or emergency clinic.

  • No waiting period for Preventive Care and Accident Coverage, with the exception of ligament and knee conditions. Ligament and knee conditions and illness coverage have a 14-day waiting period.
