Why you should choose Physicians Mutual Pet for your pet insurance needs

Read time: 5 minutes

From budget-friendly premiums to being a company you can trust with your pet’s health, and your finances, we have it all.

Right plan. Right company. Right price.

We get it. Pet insurance companies look alike at first. Between the plans and charts and insurance terms, it’s no wonder so many people have a hard time making heads or tails of the plans and companies. You may wonder what makes one company, or plan, different from the others.

But let us assure you … We’re not all the same.

In fact, here’s what makes Physicians Mutual Pet different.

Our premiums

It’s not about the money … but, it’s about the money.

For many pet parents, the monthly premium is the most important factor in choosing their pet insurance plan. (And for some, it’s the only factor.) Truth be told, we don’t blame them. Everyone wants to make a smart choice.

Here’s our promise to you: We built our plans with your pets — and your budget — in mind.

Our number one goal is to make pet insurance accessible and affordable for pet parents who want to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy. Here are some examples of how affordable a policy with Physicians Mutual Pet can be …

  • The average price for a 1-year-old Labradoodle on the Standard Plan with a 90% reimbursement percentage and a $250 deductible is $30/month.
  • The average price for a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair on the Standard Plan with a 90% reimbursement percentage and a $250 deductible is $20/month.

In addition, we offer a variety of discounts to help make pet insurance with Physicians Mutual even more affordable. Here are a few of our discounts:

Multi-Pet
Military
Shelter/Animal Care Worker
Service or Therapy Pet
Multi-Policy

And as a mutual company, we work with our policyowners’ best interests in mind. Not shareholders’. And certainly not Wall Street’s. This means that you can be sure that you’re getting value from your plan.

Build your plan your way

If you believe that one-size doesn’t fit all, you’re in luck.

Some pet insurance companies only offer standardized plans. Other companies may allow you to customize but the options are limited. We offer the best of both worlds. Want a standardized plan? Great! We have three. Choose one, and you’re all set. Want a plan that suits your situation and budget? Awesome! We offer great flexibility for pet parents.

Here are some of the options you can customize:

  • Deductible
  • Annual Limit

  • Wellness Options
  • Optional Riders

    … and more!

All you have to do is pick your base plan and begin customizing.

Whichever way you go, you can’t go wrong. Head over to our Pet Insurance Quote Page to get started.

Over that time, we’ve earned a reputation for doing things the right way. This means that when you join the Physicians Mutual Pet family, you can rest easy knowing you’ve chosen a company committed to doing the right thing. Every time.

That’s what insurance for all of us® is all about.
