Pet insurance was popularized thanks to the famous television collie, Lassie, who was given the first North American pet policy back in 1982.
Now, 39 years later, the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA) states there are 12 major animal insurance companies in North America.
Each company offers competitive policies but all have the same ultimate goal: to keep your furry companions as healthy as possible.
The NAPHIA was created to maintain a consistent standard among pet insurers, keeping practices and clinics as up-to-date as possible.
