Does anyone know of an insurance company pet reasonable in the U.S.? I need a kind of insurance for my 1 year apso lhaso covering mainly the visiting veterinarian, including plans. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Try visiting Petco or Petsmart. They both have programs that are fairly reasonable and easy to obtain. Good luck!
Ask your veterinarian.
Here in the U.S., insurance pet insurance is not real. And this is not standardized, and it does not directly pay the vet. MOST of the time, it does not cover routine commands such as castration and plans. For most, it does not pay, the more you pay in. which is probably what you are looking for.
I know it's very confusing when buying insurance for pets. There is too much information out there and cause an overload of information.
No insurance for pets are the same and you should find one that fits the needs of your cat. You must be careful when you choose a place because the insurance company a lower cap on their refund, even if you pay higher premiums. Some have deductibles low, but does not cover many diseases or poor coverage in case of accident and the diagnosis. Many insurance companies will not cover pre existing conditions.
I can not recommend one that stood out from the rest because my cat needs may be different from what you need.
However, there is a site with lots of positive reviews and useful information on insurance available for your review.

Some recommendations: -
How old is your pet? The best time to buy a health policy for pet insurance is when your pet is young. Most health problems for pets occur in the last two years of life for your pet. So, the more your pet is the best
Is your race subject to medical problems? While policy premiums are generally not based on race, some hereditary diseases are excluded.
For example, Persian cats are prone to polycystic kidney disease (PKD). You can still buy insurance for your pet Persian, just do not be surprised if it fails to cover the issues (some insurance policies for pets can cover this, so check with your provider to make sure before you buy).
Your pet is already sick? Most providers of pet insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions. However, if you can prove your pet has a condition that has been cured, which can be covered.
Can you select your own veterinarian? For many pet owners, veterinary choice is the key, and for good reason. Some insurance companies pet require you to use veterinarians on their own network. Others do not. As always, check with your provider about your choice of veterinarian.
What lifestyle of your pet? If your dog or cat spends most of his time outdoors, which will increase their risk of illness or injury.
What is covered? Many dog owners purchase pet health insurance policies to protect against the high cost of future health problems. Others want regular pet care such as an annual medical examination and routine check-ups and cleanings.
Just note that most standard insurance policies for pets cover accidents and catastrophic illness. visits to the vet for routine tend to come as add-ons and / or riders.
What state are you located? If you are looking for on the Internet for pet insurance, you should check this. The mere fact that a supplier does business online does not mean that services your state.
Check the history of the insurance company
Each U.S. state has an insurance commissioner. If the insurance company you are considering has had legal and ethical issues that should worry, insurance.
