Pet Health Insurance
Your finances shouldn’t stand in the way of top-quality veterinary treatment.
Pet insurance provides pet owners with financial security to assist with veterinary costs. This is most important when a pet is sick or injured and requires unexpected veterinary care. Similar to human health insurance, the policyholder pays a monthly fee, which varies based on the insurance company provider, policy choice, and your pet’s specific age and breed.
Since all insurance companies do not cover pre-existing conditions, the best time to enroll your pet in an insurance plan is when they are young and healthy. Insurance enrollment for a middle-aged or senior pet can still be beneficial, but monthly payments may be higher, and any previous medical condition will be considered pre-existing.
