An estimate of the cost of a pet insurance policy based on various factors.

What Goes Into Your Pet Insurance Quote?

Understanding the key factors that shape your estimate helps you make smarter coverage decisions.

Your Pet's Breed Matters

Certain breeds are predisposed to specific health conditions, which directly affects your premium. For example, large breeds like German Shepherds are more prone to hip dysplasia, while flat-faced breeds such as Bulldogs often face respiratory issues. Insurers factor in these breed-specific risks when calculating your quote.

Age Affects Your Premium

The younger your pet, the lower your quote typically is. Younger animals are generally healthier with fewer pre-existing conditions, making them less of a risk to insure. Enrolling early also ensures broader coverage before any conditions develop that could later be excluded from your policy.

Location Influences Cost

Veterinary care costs vary significantly by state and city. Urban areas with higher costs of living tend to have more expensive vet services, which is reflected in your quote. Your ZIP code helps insurers align your premium with the realistic cost of care in your area.

Coverage Level You Choose

Your quote changes based on the type of plan you select — accident-only, accident and illness, or comprehensive wellness coverage. Higher coverage limits, lower deductibles, and higher reimbursement percentages will raise your monthly premium but reduce out-of-pocket costs when care is needed.

Deductible and Reimbursement Rate

Choosing a higher annual deductible lowers your monthly premium, while opting for a higher reimbursement rate (e.g., 90% vs. 70%) increases it. Balancing these two levers is key to finding a plan that fits both your budget and your expectations for claims payouts.

Your Quote Is Not Your Final Price

A quote is an estimate based on the information you provide. Final pricing may vary after a full review of your pet's medical history or veterinary records. Always review the policy terms carefully to understand what is and isn't covered before committing to a plan.
