Pet Insurance Basics: What is It?

Pet insurance is to veterinary medicine what health insurance is to human medicine. Both help to provide medical coverage for treatment recipients who would otherwise be saddled with exorbitant costs. Just like with human health insurance, having pet insurance requires you to pay a premium each month to keep your plan, and you will have a deductible that will need to be paid before coverage kicks in.

Filing a Claim

The main difference between pet insurance and human health insurance is that you, the pet owner, will need pay your pet's invoice, then file a claim with your pet's insurance provider. Then, they'll reimburse you for what your pet's plan covers.

Pet Insurance Providers We Recommend

You are free to choose whichever pet insurance company you prefer to suit your needs and budget. Every company and insurance plan has its pros and cons.
