Pet Health Insurance
Planning ahead for your pet's care can make unexpected situations easier to manage. Pet insurance is one option many pet owners explore to help offset the cost of veterinary services related to illness or injury.
Most pet insurance plans work on a reimbursement model. You pay for your pet's care at the time of the visit, then submit a claim to your insurance provider. Based on your policy, you may be reimbursed for a portion of covered services.
What Pet Insurance May Cover:
Coverage varies by policy, but many plans are designed to help with:
- Accidents such as injuries or ingestion of foreign objects
- Illnesses including infections, chronic conditions, and cancer
- Hospitalization, diagnostics, and medications
Some providers also offer optional wellness plans that help with routine care like exams and vaccines.
