See How Pet Insurance can Make a Difference with a Sample Visit to the Veterinarian

With just one major injury or illness in your pet's life, the policy could pay for itself.
View a sample of a pet insurance claim below.

Overview
Darcie was playing a game of fetch with her owner and tore her anterior cruciate ligament jumping for the ball. This ligament stabilizes the knee joint and is a common injury in both people and dogs. In this case, Darcie's owner had to pay less than a third of what the entire treatment regimen costs.

Overview
Molly received a physical exam, all of her puppy vaccinations including boosters, a fecal exam for intestinal parasites, deworming medication, was spayed and received a year's supply of flea and heartworm control medication.

Six months later, Molly swallowed a golf ball while playing, which resulted in surgery to remove the ball from her stomach. Molly’s annual deductible was utilized by her routine preventative care and as a result the surgery was covered at 80%, minimizing financial worries.
