Pet Insurance Comparison Guide
Choosing the right pet insurance for your fur-iend can be difficult and confusing. Most companies that offer pet insurance generally work the same, but there are often major differences between coverage details and overall benefits, which will ultimately affect the cost of your monthly premium and claim reimbursements.

What should I consider in comparing plans?
What is the overall monthly or annual price of your pet insurance policy?
The price of your insurance plan is dictated by reimbursement levels, deductibles, and annual limits. Make sure to look closely at the fine print for each of these factors and consider the following: Are deductibles applied on an annual basis or per condition? Are reimbursements made based on the actual cost of what you paid your veterinarian for treatment, or are they capped at certain amounts?
Will your dog be covered regardless of age, breed, or past diagnosis?
All pet insurance companies exclude pre-existing conditions from their base policies. A pre-existing condition is an illness or injury diagnosed before the pet insurance policy is issued or during waiting periods. However, this shouldn’t preclude pets at any age from receiving coverage for future, non-related illnesses or accidental injuries.
Does your pet insurance provider reimburse you for Routine Care?
Routine care refers to general care items and activities necessary to ensure your pet stays healthy. This includes wellness exams, staying up to date on vaccinations, dental cleanings, flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and much more. These items are not typically included in insurance policies, but many providers offer additional wellness plans to help offset the cost of routine care.
