You already know how Verisk’s rules, forms, and loss costs streamline your product development. Now we’ve applied that same comprehensive approach to pet insurance delivering everything you need in one complete, ready-to-file package.
The pet insurance opportunity is here
The pet insurance market reached $4.5 billion in 2024, growing over 20% year-over-year. More than 70% of U.S. workers own pets, but under 10% of U.S. pets are currently insured.. There’s substantial room for growth in this expanding market.
As veterinary costs continue rising (up to 60% over the past decade) pet owners increasingly seek coverage options. Your existing customers already trust you with their most important assets. Pet insurance is a natural extension of that relationship.
