Is pet insurance worth the cost?

It depends on the pet, the breed, and the household. Pet insurance averages $35 to $70 per month for a dog and $20 to $40 per month for a cat. A single major event (a torn ACL, swallowed object surgery, cancer treatment) can run $5,000 to $15,000, which exceeds five years of premium. Breeds with known health risks (Bulldogs, Boxers, Great Danes, German Shepherds) are higher value for the insurance. Healthy mixed-breed pets may never need it. The decision is essentially: would you pay $5,000 to save your pet, or would you have to make a financial choice in that moment.
