Frequently asked questions

What is pet insurance?

Why do I need it?
The costs of veterinary care are rising, especially as more sophisticated treatments become available for animals. Pet insurance can help you focus more on your pet's care and less on finances.

How much will I get reimbursed?
Pet insurance plans reimburse up to 90% covered charges after an annual deductible per pet as low as $100. You can also customize our plans to your budget with additional deductible and co-insurance options.

Why choose the ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance program?

There are maximum amounts specified on the declarations page for the Incident Limit that applies to each eligible Incident. Please refer to the declarations page for other applicable coverage.

Publicly available industry data is used to validate the results of Our calculations.
