Pet Insurance Comparison: Pets Best vs VPI Pet Insurance

How do you find the right insurance plan for you and your pet? The first step is to do a pet insurance comparison to determine the plan that has the benefits you need at a price that fits your budget. Pets Best and VPI Pet Insurance are two pet insurance companies that offer several plans to choose from and are reputed for their exquisite customer service and responsiveness. Let’s take a closer look at both companies and what they have to offer.

VPI Pet Insurance offers a variety of plans to choose from for both cats and Dogs. The most popular plan is the Major Medical plan, which covers accidents, illness and some hereditary conditions. For people with a smaller budget, there is the Economical Medical Plan, which is the same as the Major Medical plan but with lower costs and benefits.

When determining the level of accident and illness coverage, you should consider your pet’s environment and lifestyle. For an indoor cat or small dog that doesn’t go outside much, a lower level plan may be enough. For an outdoor pet or larger pet that is more inclined to have an accident or be exposed to illnesses, a larger level of coverage may be required. Routine care coverage is not as necessary as accident and illness coverage, but it’s a good investment if you can afford it, especially if you have a puppy or kitten. The costs of spaying, neutering, and vaccinations can really add up, especially in the first year of life.

To determine which plan is right for you, you’ll need to decide how much coverage you would like to have, how much you can afford per month for premiums and what type of coverage your pet is most likely going to need. All pets should have at least a basic level of accident and illness coverage. You never know when something might happen and it’s best to be prepared.
