U.S. Pet Insurance Market Trends
The U.S. pet insurance market is expanding rapidly as pet owners increasingly choose comprehensive policies that cover more than emergency care. Instead of relying solely on accident-only plans, many now opt for coverage that includes long-term conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. Insurers are also adding benefits such as rehabilitation, behavioral therapy, and alternative treatments, broadening the market and meeting diverse needs.
Premium costs reflect this expanded coverage, averaging about $780 per year for dogs and $384 for cats. Additional features such as genetic testing have grown in popularity, with nearly one-third of policyholders selecting these options from providers including Nationwide and Trupanion. These shifts are shaping the latest trends in the US pet insurance market.
Employer-Sponsored Insurance Driving Demand
Employer-sponsored pet insurance is emerging as a major growth driver. By 2024, nearly two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies included pet coverage in employee benefits, with participation rates at firms such as Amazon and Starbucks reaching nearly 90%. Rising veterinary costs—up nearly 20% in a year—have prompted insurers like Lemonade to adopt flexible pricing models linked to local vet rates, aligning offerings with the evolving U.S. pet insurance market forecast.
Technology Transforming the Industry
Technology is reshaping the delivery of pet insurance. Activity trackers from providers like Healthy Paws and FitBark now reward active pets with premium discounts. Integration of veterinary health records by companies such as Petplan allows for more personalized plans.
Mobile apps have streamlined claims, with over 70% submitted digitally, speeding reimbursements. Blockchain pilots are also being tested to improve transparency and reduce administrative costs. Privacy concerns around genetic testing have prompted insurers to adopt advanced encryption, while more than 30 states now require standardized policy formats to improve clarity and consumer trust.
Market Expansion and Competition
The U.S. pet insurance market size is projected to exceed $24 billion by 2028. Retailers are entering the market—Walmart’s partnership with Spot now offers coverage in vet clinics and adoption centers. Gen Z owners, representing over half of new enrollments, are fueling demand for low-cost, digital-first plans, such as Pets Best’s $9.99 accident-only coverage.
Rural adoption is rising, aided by programs like the Farm Bureau’s bundled farm and pet insurance, which increased coverage in underserved areas by 60%. Mergers and acquisitions, such as Allstate’s $2.7 billion acquisition of Fetch, are reshaping the competitive landscape, creating the largest digital pet insurance platform in the U.S.
Future Outlook
The U.S. pet insurance market forecast points to steady growth driven by rising vet costs, broader accessibility, and ongoing innovation. Trends such as climate-related coverage options, app-based pricing models, and expanded employer-sponsored programs position the market for sustained growth through 2025 and beyond.
