Pets can have emergencies just like people, and having to pay out of pocket can become a huge expense. This is why
pet insurance can become an important investment.
You should do some basic research about differences in plans and coverage before committing to a provider and starting to pay the premiums. Here are four major providers that have been consistently reviewed around the web.
Healthy Paws
Healthy Paws is generally considered one of the best options for most pet owners. They offer yearly deductibles that are either $100, $200, or $500 dollars, with all other expenses being paid by the coverage after that deductible is paid each year. They also cover more than half of all vet bills. Pet owners that require lots of high
cost care should choose this provider with the low deductible, high coverage amounts, because paying a little more up front will save hundreds or thousands of dollars each year.
Pets Best
Pets Best is the best option for pet owners who do not plan on making many trips to the vet or an animal hospital and want to save money. They are very inexpensive and offer a wide range of deductibles. If you do not anticipate the need for consistent treatment, you can get an emergency only plan that will cover much of the cost of an unforeseen illness or accident and simply get a higher deductible to pay lower costs up front.
Embrace
Embrace is another good option for those who want a plan more tailored to their individual needs. They offer significant levels of coverage for things like vet visits, accidents, or sickness. You can also customize a deductible and the amount you want to be reimbursed for certain expenses. Embrace is the only provider that also offers an option for regular pet care like grooming and vet checkups. If this provider sounds like a good fit for your situation, it is probably best to contact them directly and fully customize your plan.
Pet Plan
Pet Plan is another good general option for most pet owners. You can receive comprehensive coverage for anything that might happen to your pet plus get superior customer service. With this provider it is best to choose a comfortable deductible and go with a standard plan to cover medical expenses and emergencies.
