Avoid the heat of vet bills with pet insurance in California personalized to your budget with coverage at every neighborhood vet from Sacramento to Los Angeles, Long Beach to San Jose, San Francisco to San Diego, and everywhere else throughout the Golden State.
We don’t have to tell you that California is a pricey place to live – and vet bills certainly follow suit. Having pet insurance in California ensures that you can afford to give your best friend the best care no matter the cost.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the most common situations that worry our Californian pet parents:
According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Rattlesnakes are widespread in California and are found in a variety of habitats throughout the state from coastal to desert. Dogs are much more susceptible to snake bites than humans due to their curious nature. The deadly venom produced by a snake bite is extremely painful, potentially life-threatening, and can be very expensive to treat. We've paid claims ranging from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars from one single snake bite. This is why it’s important to have dog insurance in California.
Known to live in all areas of California, coyotes can be predatory and territorial in nature. They often hunt early in the morning and late in the evening when it’s harder to spot them. Smaller dogs and cats are more at risk of being attacked. In fact, one of our Embraced cats, Maxine, was attacked by a Coyote on her own deck. Luckily, her pet parents had her insured so we were able to reimburse the costs of her emergency surgery and recovery.
It's no surprise to us that injuries are one of the top claims we see each year in California. Californians are an active bunch! And it’s common for pets to tag along on the adventure. Major injuries like cranial cruciate ligament tears most often require surgery with lengthy - and costly - rehabilitation.
Living on the west coast really shakes things up – sometimes literally. Earthquakes can happen more than 10,000 times a year in California*, and that can pose risks to your pals, including injuries from falling objects.
Even though Aragon’s pet parents had him trained in rattlesnake avoidance, they knew that their curious canine could still be at risk.

I was able to select a custom plan that fit my preferences in terms of my deductible, monthly premium, and maximum benefit... So many pets inevitably get sick, so it makes so much sense to get pet insurance!
