TL;DR
Lemonade earns the top spot for value because it pairs the lowest starting premiums in our comparison with a modern, app-first claims experience. The trade-off is a 6-month waiting period on IVDD, so you need to enroll well before your dachshund shows any back-related symptoms, coverage varies by policy and state.
