The primary benefit of pet insurance is that it helps you get the care and treatment your furry companion needs.

“Stubborn inflationary cost pressures have added to the sticker shock of a new pet in 2024, but perhaps paradoxically, the bonds that people share with their dogs and cats have never been stronger,” said Kate Jaffe, a trend expert at Rover.
