Pet Insurance

Pet Insurance  

Overview

A jump off the couch or an unexpected illness can put a dent in your wallet, even when the patient is your pet. A torn ACL can cost about $3,300 to fix. Cancer treatments can easily run $5,000. Even a routine vaccination costs on average $270.  So shouldn’t every member of your family have health insurance?

 

With Pet Insurance, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can care for your pet no matter the cost by getting help with some of your pet’s medical bills, including treatments, surgeries, lab fees, X-rays, prescriptions and more. Advantages include:

 

  • Choice among three great plans depending on your needs and budget.
  • Special member discounts.
  • Freedom to use your own vet for services (no networks).
  • Access to a 24-hour live Vet Helpline to get guidance about your pet’s health.
