Pet Insurance


Pet Insurance is a health plan for your furry family members, ensuring that financial constraints never dictate the quality of care they receive. Unlike human insurance, this reimbursement-based coverage is straightforward: you visit any licensed vet, pay the bill, and get paid back. It provides a critical safety net against unexpected accidents, hereditary conditions, and severe illnesses that can cost thousands of dollars.

The “Risk Reality”: Avoiding Economic Euthanasia

No pet owner wants to imagine choosing between their bank account and their pet’s life. Yet, as the AVMA reports rising costs in veterinary medicine (including advanced treatments like MRIs and cancer therapies), “Economic Euthanasia”—putting a pet down because treatment is unaffordable—is a tragic reality. Roughly 1 in 3 pets will need emergency care this year. A comprehensive policy transforms a catastrophic $5,000 vet bill into a manageable $500 deductible, ensuring your best friend gets the gold standard of care they deserve.

Types of Pets We Insure


Puppies eat things they shouldn’t; senior cats develop chronic conditions. We match your pet’s life stage and breed risks with the carrier that offers the best long-term protection.

Pet Insurance Coverage

We design Pet Insurance policies that cover the “What Ifs” of pet ownership, focusing on unexpected medical costs rather than routine kibble.

What is Covered
Accidents: Broken bones, swallowed objects, bite wounds, and toxic ingestions.
Illnesses: Vomiting, diarrhea, cancer, allergies, and infections.
Hereditary Conditions: Breed-specific issues like hip dysplasia, heart defects, and eye conditions (after waiting periods).
Diagnostics & Surgeries: X-rays, MRIs, bloodwork, hospitalization, and emergency surgeries.
Medications: Prescription drugs mandated by a veterinarian to treat a covered condition.
What is NOT Covered (Exclusions)
Pre-existing Conditions: Any illness or injury that showed symptoms before your policy started is excluded.
Routine Care: Annual exams, vaccinations, and spay/neuter are excluded unless you buy a Wellness rider.
Breeding Costs: Expenses related to pregnancy, whelping, or nursing are typically not covered.

The “Dream” Difference: Comprehensive vs. Basic

Cheap plans often cap payouts or exclude exam fees. We shop carriers like Nationwide and Safeco to find policies that pay up to 90% of the bill and never cap your annual benefits.

Feature Basic “Budget” Plan The “Dream” Protection Plan
Annual Limit Capped ($2k – $5k) Unlimited Annual Payouts
Reimbursement Rate Low (50% – 70%) High (80% – 90%)
Exam Fees Excluded ( You pay $50-$100) Included in Coverage
Hereditary Conditions Limited / Excluded Full Coverage

 

 

Pet Insurance Cost

“How much is it?” Premiums are based on your pet’s breed, age, and location. Insuring them while young locks in lower rates and avoids pre-existing condition exclusions.

Premium Estimates

Dogs$30 – $80 / mo
Cats$15 – $40 / mo
Mixed BreedsOften 10-20% cheaper.

Key Cost Factors

AgeRates rise annually as health risks increase.
BreedGenetic issues (e.g., Bulldogs) raise costs.
LocationVet prices in your zip code affect premiums.

The “Independent Difference”: Why Dream Assurance?

Not all pet insurance is created equal. Some require you to pay vastly more upfront. At Dream Assurance Group, “Independent Means Choice.” We compare policies to find the sweet spot between cost and coverage.

  • Direct Pay Options: We prioritize carriers that minimize your out-of-pocket costs at checkout, so you aren’t waiting weeks for reimbursement.
  • Lifetime vs. Per Incident: We prioritize “Lifetime” deductibles over “Per Incident” deductibles to save you money on chronic conditions like allergies or diabetes.
  • Claims Advocacy: If a claim is denied, we help you gather medical records and appeal the decision to get the reimbursement you’re owed.

Experience the confidence shared by the pet parents we protect, and let us turn these options into a clear, comprehensive protection plan for you.

Mr. Andre was a massive help beginning to end! He helped us get a great deal on our insurance, and explained everything thoroughly. It isn’t every day you get an insurance agent that you feel actually know what’s they’re talking about AND has your best interest in mind, but he definitely cares about his clients! Thanks Andre, and thanks Dream Assurance!

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does pet insurance cover pre-existing conditions?
Generally, no. If your pet has shown signs of an illness before the policy starts, that specific condition will be excluded. This is why it is critical to insure pets prematurely (while they are puppies/kittens) before issues develop. However, some carriers now cover “curable” pre-existing conditions if the pet has been symptom-free for 180 days.
Yes! Unlike human health insurance with “networks,” pet insurance reimburses you for bills from any licensed veterinarian, specialist, or emergency clinic in the US (and often Canada/Puerto Rico).
Not on a standard policy. Standard insurance is for accidents and illnesses. However, most carriers offer an optional “Wellness Rider” add-on that provides a set allowance for routine care like shots, flea meds, and spay/neuter surgeries.
Yes. All policies have waiting periods to prevent fraud (e.g., buying insurance after an accident). Typically, it is 2-5 days for accidents and 14 days for illnesses. Cruciate ligament (knee) issues often have a 6-month waiting period, though this can sometimes be waived with a vet exam.
With most carriers, you pay the vet upfront, submit a photo of the bill via app, and get reimbursed (direct deposit or check) within a few days. Some premium carriers offer direct payment software so you only pay your portion at checkout.
