When looking for companies to buy pet insurance from, sometimes you just want to look at the price. While there are plenty of features to consider, like annual limits, deductibles, and what’s covered under each plan, below we outlined the cheapest pet insurance companies by comparing price alone. So if you’re looking for cheap pet insurance and just want to consider the price, below are several helpful charts.
In order to find the cheapest pet insurance, we took the 12 largest and most well-known companies and got quotes from each. The quotes we compared included:
- Three different locations: California, Texas and Florida
- Two different breeds: A breed on the more small/medium size (a Labrador Retriever) and a larger breed (a German Shephard)
- Two separate ages: A 1-year-old dog and a 5-year-old dog
To keep things even, we also looked at the highest deductible amount for each company. From there, we compared which companies come up with the cheapest prices and rated the lowest-priced seven companies.

Getting Cheap Pet Insurance Through Accident-Only Coverage:
Another option for finding cheap pet insurance is to just get coverage that is accident-only. As the name suggests, these cover accidents only. So you’d get coverage for issues like when a dog eats something or gets hit by a car, but not cancer. You can cut your monthly premiums in half or more that way. If you’d like to know how some of the top companies compare in terms of price alone for accident-only coverage, below are some quotes:
