There are many pet insurances available right now, and they are all slightly different in coverage and how you are reimbursed for medical issues. Most will require that you pay the vet the full bill, and then will reimburse you a percentage of the cost of the bill, so keep in mind that you will still need to be able to pay the vet bill at the time of service. I have had satisfied clients that have used Trupanion and Pet Plan.

Here is a website that compares many of the top brands of pet insurance available right now:
