How your money is protected
PetInsurer.com is a comparison site rather than an insurer, so it arranges cover with insurers and the policy is written by the provider shown at the point of purchase. The site is licensed in all US states, with per-state licence numbers listed, though the page does not name the regulators. The annual policy limit is the part that decides how much of a treatment bill is actually paid.
The company behind it
The legal entity is Compare Pet Insurance Services, Inc., a company based in the US. That body runs the comparison service and passes details to the insurer that issues the policy. Support runs on email and help centre, so answers arrive by email or through the help centre rather than over the phone. There is a PetFirst page on the site where plans and their limits can be read.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pet cover cost on PetInsurer.com?+
Plans start at $9.95 a month. That figure is the entry point only, and the price a reader pays depends on the insurer and plan chosen at the point of purchase. Monthly payments are available, so the total does not have to be settled in one go.
What is the excess on a pet claim?+
Excesses run $50 to $500, which is the part of a treatment bill you pay yourself before cover starts. A lower excess means more of each vet bill is reimbursed, and a higher excess cuts the monthly price but raises the cost of making a claim.
How old must my pet be?+
Pets within the 2 months to 18 years range can be covered, which means a pet can be insured well beyond kitten or puppy age. Older animals sit at the top of that range, and some insurers set their own limits on age at the point of quote.
What does the policy actually cover?+
Cover is pet insurance under pet, and the annual policy limit applies to what the insurer pays in a policy year. The insurer sets the treatment limits for each plan, so check the limit shown for your pet before you buy. Nothing outside pet cover is included.
Who provides the cover, and are they licensed?+
PetInsurer.com is a comparison site under comparison site, not the insurer itself. The policy is written by the provider shown at the point of purchase, and the site is licensed in all US states with per-state licence numbers listed.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims can be made on email, fax and app, so a claim runs by email, by fax or through the app. Keep the invoice from your vet and send it through the channel you use, as the treatment limits for your plan decide how much is reimbursed.
What support can I get?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so you reach the team by email or through the help centre. There is no phone or chat support listed, which means questions about a claim are handled in writing and are worth sending with all the detail you have.
