Pet insurance basics

Deductibles, reimbursement, limits and exclusions.

6 min read

Pet insurance usually reimburses you after you pay the vet. Policies differ a lot, so the details matter more than the monthly price.

Key terms

  • Deductible: what you pay before coverage starts
  • Reimbursement rate: the share of eligible costs repaid
  • Annual or lifetime limits
  • Waiting periods before coverage begins
  • Exclusions, especially pre-existing conditions
