Frequently-asked Questions about offering our pet insurance

Who can offer our pet insurance?

We work with companies, organizations, and associations of different sizes to offer their employees or members our pet insurance. We also partner with voluntary benefit producers to help expand their portfolio with pet insurance.

Why should I offer pet insurance?

Pet insurance is becoming increasingly popular with pet parents. The North American Pet Health Insurance Association reports that nearly 3.1 million pets were insured in North America at the end of 2020 with an average annual growth rate of 18.9% since 2016.*

Part of the reason more pet parents are covering their pets is because they see them as an integral part of their families. Many would pay almost any amount of money to provide their pets with the best veterinary care possible if they got sick or injured. Pet insurance helps pet parents rest easy knowing they’ll have help covering these expenses. It allows them to focus on their pets' well-being with less worry about the costs of treatment.

It’s no surprise then that more and more employees are asking for pet insurance through their work benefit program. By offering pet insurance to your employees, members, or clients, you’re giving them a benefit they want and showing them that you care about their pets. It’s a great way for companies and associations to attract and retain talent. If you’re a voluntary benefit producer, it’s the perfect addition to your portfolio.

What does our pet insurance cover?

Our coverage can help with the treatment costs for all sorts of accidents, from bumps and bruises to burns and lacerations, as well as the treatment costs of illnesses, such as ear infections, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. It also includes congenital conditions, alternative therapies, and behavioral issues.

For pet parents who just want coverage for emergencies or have lower budgets, we also offer an Accident-Only coverage option.

How much does it cost?

The cost depends on a few things, including the selected coverage and the breed, species, and age of the pet along with the pet parent’s zip code. Our customers can also customize their plan to fit their budget and coverage needs. They can choose their annual deductible, pick their reimbursement percentage, and select their annual limit.

Plus, we offer a 10% base rate group discount in some states*, which applies to the base plan premium for every pet. That’s on top of our 10% multiple pet discount for each additional pet insured, excluding the pet with the highest premium. Please note that rates and discounts may vary by state.

*No group discount in TN or HI

How do your customers get reimbursed?

Our customers can go to any licensed veterinarian in the US or Canada, including specialists and veterinarians practicing at emergency clinics. They pay the bill as usual and then submit a claim to us for reimbursement.
