What do the plans cover and how much do they cost?
The cost depends on several different factors how old the pet is, if its a purebred or a mutt, etc. What kind of pet do you want to insure? (VPI pet insurance offers policies for rats, snakes, birds and other exotic pets).
Do you only need a comprehensive plan or a basic one to cover accidents and illnesses?
Regardless of the plan you need, you could probably insure your pet for less than what you spend on coffee a month. Keep in mind that some providers will offer a multiple pet discount. Its never too soon to start insuring your pet but dont wait too long! Some providers have a cut-off point in regards to age.

Who needs pet insurance?
Anyone who doesnt want to face the dreadful choice between having to put down their pet and paying for an unexpected, life-saving emergency procedure. The overwhelming majority of claims arise out of accidents and illness. Dont be forced to choose between pet or debt!

Will I be able to afford pet insurance?

Ok, Ive decided to get pet insurance. Where do I get started?
The internet is a great choice for those researching the basics of pet insurance or looking for the details about the different providers and the plans they offer.
Most pet insurance companies make it very easy to access any information you would need on their websites, but finding quality third party comparison sites are the best.
