Pros and cons for dachshund owners

What we like
  • One of the more complete preventive packages in our comparison
  • Lists dental illness as eligible, less common among the plans we compared
  • Straightforward 90% reimbursement on every plan
  • Backed by Zoetis, a major animal health company
Trade-offs to know
  • Only one reimbursement tier (less flexibility)
  • Preventive add-on is not insurance and doesn't roll over
