ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Review
Last updated: March 2026 | Reviewed by Mike (AAI, PRC, SBCS, CCIC)
Our Verdict
A solid mid-tier option with strong brand recognition and competitive pricing. The ASPCA name carries trust, though the insurance is actually administered by Crum & Forster (not the ASPCA itself). Good coverage options with an unlimited tier available, but the 14-day waiting periods and mid-range claims speed keep it behind the top carriers.

Overview
ASPCA Pet Health Insurance leverages one of the most trusted names in animal welfare, though the insurance is actually administered by Crum & Forster under a licensing agreement. The ASPCA receives a royalty fee for the use of its name and logo.
Despite this, the product itself is solid. The Complete Coverage plan offers accident and illness protection with an optional unlimited annual limit, and the preventive care add-on covers routine exams, vaccinations, and dental cleanings.
Coverage Details
The Complete Coverage plan covers accidents, illnesses, hereditary conditions, behavioral issues, alternative therapies, and prescription medications. Coverage limits range from $5,000 to unlimited annually.
The optional Preventive Care add-on covers wellness exams, vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, heartworm testing, dental cleaning, and microchipping. Two tiers are available with different annual allowances.
Pricing & Premiums
ASPCA premiums are competitive, starting around $20/month for cats and $30/month for young dogs with higher deductibles. Choosing unlimited coverage with a $100 deductible and 90% reimbursement pushes premiums to $50–$75/month.
The 10% multi-pet discount helps for multi-pet households. However, premiums increase notably as pets age, which is common across the industry but worth planning for.
Claims Experience
Claims are submitted through the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance app or web portal. Processing typically takes 5–14 business days, which is average for the industry.
Reimbursement is based on actual vet bills, and direct deposit is available. The claims interface is straightforward and includes itemized explanations of benefits.
