Use our pet insurance cost estimator to calculate estimated monthly premiums for your dog or cat. Enter age, size, location, and coverage preferences to see cost ranges and factors that impact pricing so you can compare plans with confidence.
How Pet Insurance Cost Estimator Works
The estimator applies typical insurer multipliers based on pet type, age bracket, size, and location, then layers in coverage selections (accident-only vs comprehensive) and reimbursement choices to produce a monthly cost range. Use it to understand how each factor changes pricing before requesting quotes.
Key Cost Drivers
Dogs, senior pets, large/giant breeds, and pets in urban ZIP codes have higher premiums. Comprehensive coverage with low deductibles also increases monthly cost. Accident-only plans are cheaper but cover less. The tool highlights which inputs impact price the most.
