Pet insurance helps you cover expensive medical bills if your pet becomes ill or injured. You can also get reimbursed for preventative care, such as vaccinations and checkups, depending on the coverages you choose. People frequently buy pet insurance plans for their dog or cat to help cover the costs of emergency medical care or serious illnesses, including cancer treatment.

Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if the pet is lost or stolen.

As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets' health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

Many pet owners believe pet insurance is a variation of human health insurance; however, pet insurance is actually a form of property insurance. As such, pet insurance reimburses the owner after the pet has received care and the owner submits a claim to the insurance company. Pet insurance policies primarily cover dogs, cats and horses though more exotic species of animal can obtain coverage.
