Pet Insurance

We love our furry family members and there is no way to anticipate what will happen in the future – you can’t predict when your pet will get sick, or how much it will cost. You never want an urgent decision at the vet’s office to come down to how much is in your savings accounts. Having Pet Insurance enables you to take care of your pets without the financial burden. Our carrier partners at Safeco Insurance recently launched a new product in Washington to help pet owners find peace of mind. We’ve laid out more information about Safeco’s product below and you can start an online quote in several easy steps too. Let us help keep your Fido feeling healthy!

What is pet insurance?

Pet insurance is coverage that can help you manage veterinary costs. It’s actually a form of property insurance, which may sound a little strange as we don’t usually think of our pets as anything other than furry members of our family. It works similarly to an auto or homeowners’ policy and reimburses you for covered incidents.

Why do I need coverage for my pet?

Like our own health crises, pet medical emergencies often happen out of the blue. A lot of time an unexpected vet bill means adding to your credit card or draining your savings account. Unfortunately, in some cases it can mean having to say no to recommended tests or treatment. Pet insurance reimburses you for covered vet bills, so you can focus on the well-being of your pet instead of the cost.

How does my pet qualify?

As long as your cat or dog is at least 8 weeks old, your pet is eligible for enrollment.
