FAQs About Pet Insurance for Dogs
MetLife Pet’s dog insurance starts at $16 per month for one dog, but your exact price depends on a few factors.1 Your pet’s age, species, breed, and your zip code all impact the cost. Choosing a different reimbursement rate, deductible, or annual limit can also change the price2,11,12 — as well as adding more pets to a policy or Preventive Care coverage.

We also offer cat insurance for your frisky feline friends and may be able to cover certain exotic pets — like rabbits, birds, ferrets, and reptiles.
Getting pet insurance any time is a great idea! Usually, the sooner you can enroll your dog in an insurance policy, the better your chances are they’ll be covered for new health conditions and vet bills.
You may find that a good time to get dog insurance is before pre-existing conditions arise, when it helps protect your finances and is within your budget, or while your pet is young.
MetLife Pet dog insurance plans typically don’t provide coverage for things like pre-existing conditions, elective or cosmetic procedures, micro-chipping, grooming, obedience training, or breeding.
