What to Look for When You Compare Pet Insurance Plans

If you’re researching pet insurance providers, consider these important factors in your decision.


  • Coverage Options Icon

    Coverage Options

    Each pet insurance company offers unique coverage plans, and that should be your primary focus. Make a list of your pet’s medical needs and current expenses before you begin your research.

  • Customer Service Icon

    Customer Service

    When filing a claim, you’ll probably be too anxious to worry about anything but your pet’s health. That’s why you need a provider that cares and is willing to assist you in your time of need.

  • Ease of Use Icon

    Ease of Use

    Filing a claim shouldn’t be a complicated process. Find a pet insurance provider who makes submitting claims easy and reimbursement even easier.

  • Cost of Pet Insurance Icon

    Cost of Pet Insurance

    You want a fair and affordable price, but your pet’s coverage and the care provided are just as important. A low price may be alluring, but if the cheaper provider doesn’t cover what your pet needs, you’ll probably still be stuck paying expensive vet bills out of pocket.

  • Customizable Plan Options Icon

    Customizable Plans

    When you sign up for pet insurance coverage, you’ll likely be given the option to select your preferred deductible, co-insurance percentage, and annual limits. Pet insurance is more than just what diseases are covered, so keep premiums and limits in mind when picking a policy.

  • Senior Pet Coverage Icon

    Coverage for Senior Pets

    Pet insurance is designed to help you give your cat or dog a long and happy life. With so many pet insurance providers terminating coverage as pets age, finding a provider that has coverage options for senior pets is in your best interest. Choose a provider like AKC Pet Insurance.
