Pet Insurance Companies
Pet insurance is on the rise with more and more pet owners wanting to offer their four-legged friend the most comfortable life possible.
The very first pet insurance was written for a dog in Sweden in 1924. Since then, the industry has been steadily growing and is estimated to grow to around $664 million by 2012. Nevertheless, only 3% of dogs and 1% of cats are insured. The eleven companies providing pet insurance in the United States are:
