When choosing pet health insurance plans, consider premiums, deductibles, whether the plan covers diagnostic testing, and more.

When shopping for dog health insurance, we too often look only at the price that’s quoted. Unfortunately, this results in people choosing the wrong insurance policy and paying for it later.

5 things to consider when buying dog health insurance: You need to look at more than the premium price. Consider total cost, extra cost for breed, coverage, and exclusions.

Read the fine print: Compare monthly premium prices, coverage options, excluded treatments, and check for discounts to find the best pet insurance policy for your dog. Be sure you understand what your plan covers.

Pre-existing conditions: Most pet owners want to protect their pets with insurance to counterbalance steeply-priced veterinarian bills and medicine. But pre-existing conditions can make finding pet insurance challenging, if not impossible.
