Default amounts are rough US ballpark estimates. Replace them with real prices from your area, vet and brands. Not veterinary or financial advice.
How to read the result
Insurance usually costs more than it pays back in a healthy year. Its value is protection against a bad year, such as surgery or a serious illness. If you could not pay a several-thousand-dollar vet bill, insurance or a dedicated savings fund is worth planning for.
What this tool leaves out
Real policies can have annual limits, waiting periods, exclusions, and rules on pre-existing conditions, and premiums often rise with age. Read the policy documents and compare several quotes before you buy.
