Pet insurance has become the fastest-growing insurance category in the United States with 35% annual enrollment growth, as veterinary costs surge and pet owners increasingly treat animals as family members.

Market Boom

The US pet insurance market reached $5 billion in premiums in 2025, up from $2 billion in 2022. Nearly 10% of US pets are now insured, compared to 3% five years ago.

Why The Growth

Average veterinary costs have risen 15% annually, with complex procedures like chemotherapy or hip replacement costing $10,000-30,000. Insurance makes these treatments accessible to average pet owners.
