Looking for Pet Insurance in Nevada?
Why Pet Insurance May Be a Good Idea if You Live in Nevada
Let’s face it: the desert isn’t an easy place to live. Many of the same difficulties faced by humans in Nevada can also affect their pets. Triple-digit temperatures and constant aridity make it easy for your pup or cat to succumb to heat stroke and dehydration. And when the rains do grace the hardpan of the Nevada desert, it can quickly become a flash flood. Other potential hazards include the diverse wildlife that inhabits the region, from mountain lions to black bears, to coyotes and Gila monsters. One encounter with any of these could put your pet into the hospital. That’s why it’s important not to sit back and wait for the unforeseen to happen. Taking proactive measures, like investing in pet insurance, can help you prepare for the worst.

How Much Is Pet Insurance in Nevada?
Typical MetLife Pet Insurance can cost as low as $9 per month for cats and $15 per month for dogs.11 In exchange, you can get reimbursed for up to 90% of the cost of covered healthcare.12 But it’s important to note that your monthly premium depends on a few factors, including where you live.
Generally speaking, you may pay more for pet insurance if you live in or just outside a larger city, like Las Vegas or Henderson, than if you live in a smaller town, like Stagecoach or Amargosa Valley. But your zip code isn’t the only thing that determines your pet insurance premium. Your pet’s species, breed, sex,13 age, and pet insurance coverage type, can all raise or lower the final amount of your monthly premium.
