Your guide to what pet insurance covers
Vet visits can really claw into your budget, especially if your pet suffers from a serious illness or injury. Whether it's an X-ray or a more complex procedure like surgery, emergency care for a pet can cost anywhere from $150 to well over $5,000. Pet insurance can help cover those costs. But pet insurance policies can vary significantly in what they cover and what can be added on. It's important to understand what's included so you can choose the best pet insurance coverage for your furry friend. Learn more: How does pet insurance work? A complete guide. Pet insurance helps pay for part of your pet's vet bills for medically necessary care. A typical accident and illness pet insurance plan will cover the following: Broken bones Swallowing a foreign object or something toxic Bite wounds Being hit by a car Cuts and scrapes Diarrhea Skin or ear infections Urinary tract infections (UTIs) Vomiting Blood-related conditions Eye problems like cherry eye Hip issues, including hip dysplasia Intervertebral disk disease (IVDD) Allergies Arthritis Stomach problems Seizures Cancer Diabetes Heart problems Parasites Parvo Lyme disease Hospitalization Surgery Chemotherapy Endoscopies Antibiotics Steroids Insulin Eye drops Infections Medications for pain Biopsies X-rays MRIs Ultrasounds Learn more: The best pet insurance companies of 2025 Based on Yahoo Finance's analysis of what pet insurance covers, the more robust pet insurance policies will also pay for the following: Alternative care. Specifics will vary by policies but can include acupuncture, chiropractic care, hydrotherapy, physical therapy, laser therapy, and massage. Behavioral therapy. When prescribed by a veterinarian for issues such as anxiety, constant licking, pulling out fur, repetitive pacing, and destructive behavior (like chewing or scratching furniture). Dental illnesses. Dental issues like extractions, gingivitis, and gum disease. Euthanasia. When medically necessary, such as for humane reasons. A small number of pet insurance companies will reimburse for costs not related to a pet's illness or injury. For example, Fetch and Prudent Pet will cover the following issues up to certain limits: Kennel costs for the pet while you're hospitalized. A mortality benefit if the pet dies (Prudent Pet) or reimbursement for the price you paid for the pet (Fetch). Vacation cancellation costs if you have to cancel a trip because the pet is sick or injured. Advertising and reward for a lost or stolen pet. Learn more: Pets Best pet insurance review 2025 Pet insurance falls into two types of policies: Accident and illness plan Accident-only plan Pet wellness plans are often available as add-ons, but technically aren't insurance. Accident and illness plans are a common choice among pet parents. This type of coverage gives you the most comprehensive coverage for injuries and illnesses. Whether your cat swallows something it shouldn't have or your puppy comes down with kennel cough, accident and illness plans can help cover treatment and medication costs (up to your policy limits). Routine vet expenses — like wellness checkups and preventive care — aren't paid for by accident and illness plans. Like the name suggests, accident-only plans cover injuries, not illnesses. So, if your dog gets into a scuffle with another pup, this type of plan can help pay for treatment, hospitalization, surgery, and medication. But if your pet gets sick, it won't cover your vet costs. Since some accident and illness plans come with age limits, accident-only plans can be a good fit for folks with older pets who may not qualify for full coverage. Plus, they're easier on the wallet since coverage is limited, making them a good option if you're on a tight budget but want some coverage without the higher price tag. Routine wellness or preventive care plans cover vet costs like checkups, vaccines, and dental cleanings — usually up to a certain amount each year. This type of plan is typically offered as an add-on to an accident and illness policy. Pet insurance usually won't cover preexisting conditions — meaning any illness or injury your pet had before you signed up for coverage or that started during the pet insurance waiting period. So, if your dog was already diagnosed with allergies, the costs for allergy-related care likely won't be covered. That said, not all pet insurance policies rule out preexisting conditions forever. Some will cover certain curable conditions — like ear infections, diarrhea, or vomiting — if your pet hasn't shown symptoms or needed treatment for a set amount of time. For example, ASPCA and Spot will cover a curable condition if your pet has been symptom-free for 180 days. (These rules usually don't apply to knee or ligament issues.) Buying pet insurance coverage early on is a good idea. That way, you can lock in coverage before new conditions start. How much your pet insurance covers generally depends on three factors: Annual limit. This is the total amount your pet insurance will reimburse you for during the policy term. Depending on the policy, choices can start as low as $2,000 and go up to unlimited annual coverage. Deductible. This is what you pay out of pocket before your insurance starts covering some of the vet costs. Most plans have an annual deductible, which can range from $50 to $1,000. Reimbursement level. After you've paid your deductible, your insurance will cover a portion of the remaining costs (up to the policy's annual limit). Reimbursement levels are usually 70%, 80%, or 90%, though some policies, like Figo, offer a 100% reimbursement option. Pet insurance policies have waiting periods, which is the time you have to wait after enrolling before your coverage kicks in. Each provider sets its own timelines, but waiting periods typically range from a couple days to 14 days for accidents and 14 to 30 days for illnesses, depending on the insurer. Some insurers also require longer waiting periods for orthopedic issues, such as joint or ligament problems. For example, Lemonade and Pets Best have six-month waiting periods for cruciate ligament conditions. Some common pet insurance exclusions are: Preexisting conditions Breeding, pregnancy, or giving birth Genetic testing or cloning Illnesses or injuries caused by fighting, racing, abuse, or neglect Cosmetic or elective procedures like ear cropping, tail docking, or dewclaw removal Routine care like wellness checkups (unless you add a wellness plan) Whether or not you can change your pet insurance coverage during the policy term depends on the insurer. Some allow you to increase your pet's coverage at any time, while others may require you to wait until your policy renews. For example, Embrace pet insurance lets you increase coverage, although the waiting period and preexisting conditions also reset as of the date the coverage changes. Conversely, most pet insurers allow you to reduce your coverage. Details will vary by provider. For example, Figo lets you reduce your annual maximum, deductible, and reimbursement at any time. Pet insurance can cover multiple pets. Most pet insurers will require each pet to have their own policy, but you may get a discount of 5% or 10% per pet by buying multiple policies. MetLife has a unique way to insure multiple pets: Its Family Plan covers up to three pets under one policy with a shared deductible and annual limit (and a discount). Or choose separate MetLife policies with a multi-pet discount that lets you customize coverage for each pet. Many pet parents in the U.S. care for animals other than cats and dogs, but it's hard to find pet insurance that covers exotic pets. 'Exotic' usually includes animals like birds, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals like ferrets. MetLife and Nationwide sell exotic pet insurance. The average cost of comprehensive pet insurance (an accident and illness policy with a wellness plan) is around $54 per month for cats and $110 per month for dogs. For accident-only plans, the cost is much lower — about $9 per month for cats and $17 for dogs, according to a 2025 report from the North American Pet Health Insurance Association. The cost of pet insurance will generally depend on these key factors: Your annual limit, deductible, and reimbursement level The pet's age, gender, and breed Where you live Deciding on whether you need pet insurance will depend on your pet's needs and your budget. To decide if pet insurance is worth it, make sure to compare the monthly premium with what you might spend on vet care if something goes wrong. Pet insurance can give you some peace of mind that an unexpected vet bill won't cause too much financial disruption. Pet insurance can be especially helpful for older pets, high-energy animals, or breeds with known health risks. Bulldogs, for example, have unique physical features that often lead to issues with breathing, teeth, eyes, and more. As an example, let's say you have a pet insurance policy with the following terms: Unlimited annual coverage 90% reimbursement $250 annual deductible $500 annual premium If your dog has an emergency vet visit that costs $7,500, you'd first pay your $250 deductible toward vet bills. After that, your insurance would cover 90% of the remaining $6,525 bill. That leaves you with just $975 to pay out of pocket instead of the full $7,500. In this case, your insurance could save you over $6,000, which can make the $500 annual premium feel worthwhile. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to pet insurance policies, since coverage and rates vary. That's why it's important to compare similar policies. You'll want to look at things like the range of problems covered, annual coverage limits, deductibles, and reimbursement levels. Consider these factors: Check what's covered. Coverage will vary from plan to plan, so focus on what matters most to you — like prescription medications, dental illness, alternative therapies, or behavioral treatments. See if vet exam fees are included. Not all policies cover the cost of simply visiting the vet for an injury or illness, so double-check that the policy includes this. Watch for longer waiting periods. Some conditions, like joint or ligament problems, might have a longer waiting period before coverage kicks in. Compare extra benefits. Many policies go beyond vet bills and offer perks like 24/7 pet telemedicine. Pet insurers like ASPCA, Healthy Paws, and Trupanion also give the option to pay the vet directly, so you don't have to wait for reimbursement. Ask about discounts. Many pet insurance companies offer savings, such as multi-pet and military discounts. Pet insurance plans typically don't cover routine care like vaccinations or checkups. But many pet insurers offer wellness add-ons you can buy to help pay for these types of expenses. Pet insurance policies generally do not cover spaying or neutering. You can usually add this coverage with a wellness plan. Yes, most pet insurance policies cover treatment for dental accidents. However, not all policies include coverage for dental illnesses, such as treatment for gingivitis. Make sure to check the policy details to see if dental illness treatment is included.

What Happens When Shoppers Share Their Data on Purpose?
How rewards apps like Fetch are empowering consumers by flipping the script on targeted advertising. If you've ever been followed around the internet by a laughably inaccurate targeted ad, you've seen firsthand how difficult personalized marketing can be. You buy your friend a baby shower gift, and some database somewhere decides that you must have a baby yourself, and now this poor diaper brand is desperately trying to sell you diapers for a kid that doesn't exist. It's a little funny and annoying to you, and a real waste of time and money for that brand. But it wasn't supposed to be this way—the promise of data-based targeted advertising was that brands would be able to find and reach their best customers directly. People would be served ads and offers for things they're actually interested in, and brands wouldn't waste their budgets marketing to consumers who aren't in their target audience. In theory, it should be a win-win. But finding the right audience for an ad has never been easy. For years, marketers relied on third-party demographic and contextual data when doing their ad targeting. But as people began to rightfully demand more control over their personal information, the industry pivoted toward more privacy-first practices. While it's a shift that was necessary and long overdue, it also made it harder for marketers to have confidence that they were getting their ads in front of the right people. That's why so many retailers are getting into the ad network business—first- and zero-party purchase data is the new gold standard when it comes to ad targeting. But even so, divining consumer behavior is still no easy feat; knowing what someone buys at one store in a vacuum isn't terribly illuminating. When marketers are stuck working with partial, inaccurate information like that, a thoughtful gift purchase suddenly gets you aggressively pitched on pull-ups. Maybe the problem is that this whole consumer data ecosystem leaves a pretty important participant out of the equation: consumers. By trying to figure out what people are buying and what brands they like from afar, marketers can never get the full picture. What if they just asked instead? And what if they made it worth people's while to tell them? Rewards app Fetch is betting that by bringing consumers into the marketing data loop, they can get that full picture of shopper behavior. By rewarding people for sharing their shopping history by uploading their receipts, they're working to create a database of consumer behavior that cuts across all retailers, online and off. It's a goal that many have had over the years, from credit card issuers to major retailers to market researchers, but Fetch is looking to do so on a scale no one else has been able to achieve. Their pitch to consumers is straightforward: Upload your receipts and receive points towards gift cards in exchange. All of those paper receipts that end up stuffed into wallets or wadded up in the bottom of jeans pockets are a previously inaccessible look at real shopping behavior, an invaluable source of information. Turning those slips of paper into parsable data isn't easy, however. But this turns out to be a specific use case that AI is perfect for. While most of what we see these days in the overhyped world of AI are search results of questionable accuracy or creepy images straight from the uncanny valley, sorting through mountains of data from disparate sources and making sense of it is right in AI's sweet spot. Fetch has developed a machine learning system that can read and parse receipts from virtually any store. By using a proprietary transformer model built with human-in-the-loop training, they're able to turn raw images of any and all receipts into a comprehensive, accurate database of consumer habits. By their nature, receipts are non-standardized and messy. Each retailer has its own format, abbreviations, and product codes, so a receipt can be difficult to interpret without knowing exactly how a store lists a product in their inventory system. To overcome this hurdle, Fetch's team spent two years manually cataloging products and receipts from stores across the country. Now Fetch's AI can look at one retailer's 'GRN BN 16OZ' and identify it as a pound of green beans, or another's 'MLK 2% OG 128OZ' as a gallon of a specific brand's organic milk. Even handwritten receipts from restaurants and small businesses are able to be accurately parsed. It's a system that keeps getting more accurate over time, as every new piece of data helps to further hone it. Fetch's AI processed more than 3 billion physical receipts and 360 million e-receipts just last year, with users submitting upwards of 85 percent of their purchases of all kinds, from groceries to restaurants to retail. And the more receipts the system ingests, the better it becomes. With that comprehensive, consistently up-to-date data in hand, marketers can then personalize specific offers within the Fetch app like point boosts to consumers they know for a fact are buying their products. This helps users earn points towards gift cards, creating a virtuous cycle of brands connecting with their best customers and those consumers being rewarded for buying the products they already love. Of course, talk about personal data collection can give people pause. How can they feel secure that the data they're sharing is being stored and shared responsibly? Explicitly built to ensure privacy, Fetch uses data clean rooms: protected, cloud-based environments that anonymize first-party and zero-party data. It's a system that ensures that data is used only by the companies that consumers provide it to, and in a way that's not connected to any personally identifiable information. When people opt in to sharing their shopping data in a secure way like this, it brings the physical world into the digital. It takes the ideas behind tools like browser cookies that have delivered imperfect results in the past and finally creates a complete picture of consumer behavior. And it does so out in the open rather than in the shadows. Fetch is making the same argument to both brands and consumers: rewards are a better way to advertise. Rewards are opt-in, always-on advertising that puts consumers in control, guarantees relevance and makes brands the center of joy. With this approach, the hope is that rewards bring both marketers and consumers a bit closer to the initial promise of targeted advertising: getting offers in front of the people who actually want to see them. And then maybe you'll finally stop getting those diaper ads served to you until you actually need them.
