Frequently Asked Questions
Let us teach you about pet insurance
What is pet insurance?
Doggo helps you pay for unexpected veterinary expenses due to accidents or illnesses. So, if your pet gets injured or becomes ill, Doggo helps pick up the bill.
Why do you need pet insurance?
How much does pet insurance cost? And how does Doggo price its dog protection plans?
Your premium is based on your dog’s age, breed, and where you live. Your premium also varies based on how you set your deductible, reimbursement rate, and maximum annual payout. We want you to have a plan that fits your needs! We do not have different pricing based on gender or spayed/neutered status.
Who qualifies for Doggo insurance?
We will insure any dog that is at least 8 weeks old, with no upper age limits. We think every dog deserves insurance! We also cover cats!
Where can I use my Doggo insurance?
You may visit any licensed veterinarian in the US, Puerto Rico, or Canada. We know how important it is to be able to be able to go to your pup’s regular vet or a specialist for emergencies.

Our plans let you customize your reimbursement rate, max annual payout and deductible when you purchase your plan.
