As pet insurance becomes more common and available, you’ll have better opportunities to select the coverage your pet needs at a price you can afford. Before we get into the costs, let’s step back and see just what pet insurance is and what it covers so you can decide if your pet needs a policy in the first place.

What is pet insurance?

Pet insurance is a type of insurance policy that you purchase from an insurer that offers this specialized form of coverage.
