  1. TrupanionPetInsurance.com

    There are many pet insurance companies to choose from, so it’s best to first determine what your specific needs are and how much you can afford (deductibles and premiums).

    It’s a good idea to research pet insurance reviews to see what other customers have experienced with each company.
    A few good questions to ask when researching pet insurance are:
    1. Does the policy cover everything? Hereditary and congenital issues?
    2. What are the payout limits? Will it be enough money for my worst case scenario?
    3. How much does it cover for each condition?
    4. What are the pricing and deductible options?
    5. Is it an ongoing policy? If my pet has an illness during my first policy year, will it be covered the next policy year?

  2. Veterinary Pet Insurance

    The "best" company will depend on your particular needs. VPI Pet Insurance is the oldest and largest pet insurer in the United States with over 480,000 pets insured. If you would like read some of our customer’s opinions, you can visit our Facebook page and talk to some of our policyholders. I think you will see they are extremely satisfied. You can also get a quote and more information on our website.

    To give you an idea of how pet insurance works, this would be the process if you were to file a claim with VPI:

    1. Visit Any Veterinarian – you can visit any licensed veterinarian worldwide. Simply pay for treatment at the time of service.

    2. Submit Your Claim – Fax or mail your claim form along with your invoices.

    3. Receive Reimbursement – After meeting your policy’s deductible, you are reimbursed according to your plan’s benefit schedule allowance or the eligible invoice amount, whichever is less.

    The idea behind getting pet insurance is to help pay veterinary bills if your pet was to be injured or become ill. With veterinary medicine becoming more advanced, it is also becoming more expensive, and many pet owners struggle with paying the resulting bills. With pet insurance, you still pay the bill, but you are then reimbursed a portion of the costs. VPI reimburses based on a benefit schedule which takes the guesswork out of figuring out what’s covered.

    Buying a policy now would be a good idea as your puppy is healthy and doesn’t have any pre-existing conditions. Also, puppies like to get into trouble and having her insured will give you some peace of mind in case she decides to eat something she shouldn’t.

    Also – be aware of answers from employees of other insurance companies on this site. Unfortunately, there are some that do not disclose their relationship, despite FTC regulations stating that an employee must disclose any relationship when endorsing their own services or products.
