What Is Pet Health
Insurance?

Pet insurance helps cover the cost of veterinary care when your pet becomes sick or injured. Unlike human healthcare in Canada, veterinary care is paid for directly by pet owners. Insurance can help reduce financial stress by reimbursing eligible expenses.

Why this Matters
in Canada

Veterinary medicine is becoming more advanced. Increasingly, veterinarians have specialized training and incorporate advanced technology into their practice. This enables them to provide a greater range of care for your pet, but can also result in more expensive procedures. Emergency care can cost thousands of dollars and decisions often need to be made quickly, during an emotional time.
