Pet Insurance
Written by Dr. Sherry Weaver
Would you please recommend one or a few good pet health care insurance companies? I don't know who to trust. And I want to be clear; I'm not interested in life insurance for my dogs, only health care insurance.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Dear Lollie,
Pet health insurance is becoming much more common in recent years. Most of the pet insurance companies are underwritten by human companies and are structured in a similar way. Some cover preventative care and others are just major medical. Since they are always changing, I have a hard time recommending a specific company. The best way to pick a company is to ask for a benefit schedule and see which plan meets your needs the best. A good web site to compare what companies have to offer is PetInsuranceReview.com.
