Build Your Perfect Pet Insurance Policy

Pet insurance helps cover the costs of unexpected veterinary bills in the event of an accident or illness. Recent estimates show that American pet owners are spending over $1500 annually on medical needs for their pets, and that emergency vet visits range from $250 to $8000! Responsible pet ownership shouldn’t send you into debt, so pet insurance reimburses covered veterinary expenses to help ease the financial burden.

What Is a Deductible for Pet Insurance?

Much like deductibles for other types of insurance, the deductible is the amount you must pay prior to insurance coverage kicking in. Each pet insurance provider has different policies for their deductibles. Some are per incident or have a life-time deductible. AKC Pet Insurance has an annual deductible per pet, and you can set your deductible between $100-1000. The higher you set your annual deductible, the lower your monthly premium.

What Is Coinsurance for Pet Insurance?

Coinsurance is the percentage of covered expenses that you must pay per covered claim. Because AKC Pet Insurance is reimbursement based, coinsurance determines the percentage of the reimbursement. When enrolling in coverage from AKC Pet Insurance, you can select 10%, 20%, or 30% coinsurance. If you want to lower your monthly premium, elect a higher coinsurance percentage during enrollment.

What Is an Annual Limit in Pet Insurance?

The annual limit applied to your pet insurance is the total amount you can get reimbursed in a policy year. Annual limits range from $2,500 to $20,000 in coverage The lower you set your annual limit, the lower your monthly premium could be. 

Protect your pet with the pet insurance of champions, AKC Pet Insurance. With multiple options to customize your coverage and add-on features, you can build the perfect plan for your cat and dog.
