Step1
Consider whether or not you really need pet insurance. If you know you'll always be a pet owner, getting insurance coverage can be a wise decision.



Step2
Go online and find the contact numbers of leading insurance companies that provide insurance for pets. Some of the best places to shop for insurance on the Internet are: PetCare Pet, PetsHealth Care, Premier Pet and Veterinary Pet Insurance. (See Resources, below, for Web links.)


Step3
Talk with your veterinarian and to these insurance agents. Discuss what exactly you'll need to have covered in the policy. A clear, thorough discussion will help keep you on the right track.


Step4
Ask for the quotes and insurance levels from different companies.


Step5
Compare the rates and clauses that best suit your needs.


Step6
Ask for discounts from the company if you have more than one pet that needs coverage.


Step7
Calculate all the total costs of the policy accurately. Insurance coverage can cost you anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the life expectancy of your pet. The age of your pet affects the premium. The older your pet is, the higher premium you are likely to pay on the insurance.


Step8
Ensure that you have the financial capability to cover all the necessary fees.


Step9
Note wehther the companies have contracts with certain vets and offer some standard as well as unique plans.


Step10
Read carefully the clauses on deductibles, surcharges and exclusions before taking the pet insurance policy. Buying pet insurance is definitely costly. Pre-existing problems and hereditary conditions such as dysphasia in certain dog species, such as German shepherds and retrievers, are normally excluded.
