Pet insurance math

The "is it worth it" question comes down to math: premiums over your dog's life versus the emergency bills you might face, with the deductible and reimbursement fine print applied. This runs the numbers from published industry data. Sources on the methodology page.

This is a planning model built on published averages, not a quote and not advice about your dog. Real premiums depend on breed, age, and ZIP code, and real policies differ on waiting periods and pre-existing-condition definitions, so read those two sections of any policy before buying. Figures carry their as-of dates in the result.
