Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pet insurance cost?

NAPHIA 2024: U.S. average accident & illness premium is $676/year for dogs ($56/month) and $383/year for cats ($32/month). Brachycephalic breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs) and large breeds (Great Danes) cost 2-3x more.

What's the best age to enroll a pet?

Enroll between 8 weeks and 1 year old to lock in lowest premiums and avoid pre-existing condition exclusions. Premiums increase 5-10% annually as pets age and may double or triple by senior years.

What pet insurance reimbursement rate should I choose?

Typical options are 70%, 80%, or 90% reimbursement after deductible. 80% with $250-$500 deductible is the most common and balances premium cost with out-of-pocket exposure. 90% reimbursement adds 15-25% to premium.
