Lower your rate
How to save money on your policy
- Enroll while your pet is young and healthy — pre-existing conditions are excluded, and premiums are lower for younger animals
- Choose a higher deductible (annual, not per-incident) to reduce monthly premiums significantly
- Compare reimbursement percentages — 80% vs 90% reimbursement makes a real difference on a $5,000 vet bill
- Accident-only policies are much cheaper if your pet is low-risk and you mainly want protection against emergencies
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Waiting until a pet is older or already sick to enroll
- Assuming wellness visits are included by default
- Not comparing reimbursement percentage and annual caps across plans
