Contact AKC Pet Insurance

1 in 3 pets require emergency care every year. Scrapes with playmates, slips and falls, and run-ins with household hazards can all leave pet owners contending with hefty vet bills. By providing reimbursement for certain eligible expenses, pet insurance policies alleviate some of the financial burden of owning a cat.

Most policyholders pay an average cost of $550 - $600 annually. Your specific premium will depend on several factors, including your zip code and cat’s age. Any optional policy add-ons you select can also affect the cost of cat insurance coverage. These factors will also affect monthly premium costs:

• Annual Benefits: Enrollees have the option to select plans with annual payouts up to $10,000 for eligible expenses. The higher the annual benefit amount, the higher the plan's premium.

• Deductibles: Choosing a higher annual deductible means you're responsible for covering more pet care expenses before coverage kicks in. Higher deductibles typically mean lower monthly premiums.

• Coinsurance and Reimbursement: The lower the reimbursement percentage, the lower the monthly cat insurance premium.
