Why is pet insurance important in California?
California has more pets than any other state, thanks to its large population and pet-friendly lifestyle. With so many dogs and cats enjoying the California sun, pet insurance helps families handle unexpected vet expenses and keep their pets healthy.
Beyond the usual accidents and illnesses, pets may face risks like: snake bites, coyote attacks, falling objects due to earthquakes, and muscle tears from high-intensity exercise.
There are also environmental factors that can affect California pets: foxtails, wildfire smoke, toxic algae blooms.
