With a stellar reputation in home and renters insurance, Lemonade entered the pet industry with monthly premiums as low as $10. The company’s mission is to ensure that pet owners can keep their pet(s) healthy all year round at affordable costs.
The average cost of surgeries for dogs or cats ranges between $1,000 to $1,500, which can be costly if paid out of your pocket. With Lemonade Pet Insurance, pet owners can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars when they need to take their pet to the vet.
The company also gives back to the community by donating unclaimed premiums to animal welfare organizations and other charitable causes that customers choose when they sign up.
Lemonade Pet Insurance requires a valid pet medical examination in order to file a claim. The medical report should be completed within the last 12 months from the date of sign-up, and ideally submitted within the first two weeks of getting your policy.
