FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes—while emergency veterinarians can’t provide a diagnosis over the phone, we can provide some helpful first aid tips and guidance on what to do next.
On average, emergency vet visits can cost anything from $200 to $2000 or more.
However, these costs can vary depending on the following:
- Location – emergency vet care can cost more in urban areas than in suburban or rural areas
- 24/7 ER availability – typically costs more than in-clinic emergency vet services
- Veterinary diagnostics needed – tests can add to the total bill
- The need for surgery – the need for emergency vet surgery typically costs more
Most comprehensive pet insurance plans (i.e., accident-illness pet insurance) will cover a set portion of the emergency costs (co-pay percentage), depending on the policy. As the name implies, injuries from accidents as well as sudden illnesses are covered by this type of insurance, unless listed as exclusions.
Other factors that can affect pet emergency coverage include:
- The set deductibles in your policy
- Waiting periods (typically for new policies)
- Any excluded pre-existing conditions
