About ComparePetCover

Who runs this site, where our cost averages come from, and how we earn money.

ComparePetCover is an independent pet insurance comparison resource that helps US dog and cat owners choose coverage clearly and confidently.

We research plans, pricing, and coverage across all 50 states so you don't have to wade through fine print. Our goal is simple: help you protect your pet without overpaying.

Who we are

ComparePetCover is an independent, US-focused pet insurance comparison site. We are not an insurer and we don't sell policies. We exist to make an often-confusing purchase easier to understand. The site is built and maintained in-house, with content focused on clear, jargon-free explanations of how pet insurance actually works.

Who runs ComparePetCover

ComparePetCover was founded and is led by Yassine Dekkak, who oversees the site's editorial direction and research. For press, data, or source enquiries, reach him at hello@comparepetcover.com.

How we research and compare

The accident-and-illness averages in our cost-by-state study come from two published primary sources and one formula. The national base is the NAPHIA State of the Industry Report 2026 (full report, page 22): in 2025 the average US accident-and-illness premium was $836 a year for dogs and $435 for cats. We adjust both figures for each state with the Regional Price Parities published by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (All Items, 2024). The full method, including its limits, is in our average cost by state study. These are estimates, not quotes: your price depends on your pet, breed, age, ZIP code and plan.

How we rate providers, and the criteria we use, is set out on our how we rate pet insurance page.

Editorial standards & accuracy

Every page is written for accuracy and reviewed and updated regularly. You'll see a "last updated" date on our guides. Our cost figures are estimates that vary by pet, breed, age, and ZIP code, and should always be confirmed directly with each provider before purchasing. When facts change (prices, coverage terms, provider offerings), we update the affected pages.

How we make money

Some partner links may pay us a fixed referral fee when you request a quote, at no extra cost to you, whether or not you buy. Partner payments do not change our scores or the order of providers in our tables. See our advertiser disclosure.

Not financial or veterinary advice

ComparePetCover provides general educational information only. We are not licensed insurance agents, financial advisors, or veterinarians, and nothing on this site is personalized advice. Always confirm coverage details with the provider and consult a professional for decisions specific to your situation.
