Pet insurance in Ohio
Top-ranked coverage for Buckeye Buddies
Forbes' #1 pet insurance company for 2023
Nose-to-tail coverage for Ohio's dogs & cats
Ah the Buckeye State — picker of presidents, home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and haven for pet parents. 62% of Ohio households contain at least one pet — and since the state is home to nearly 12 million people, that's a lot of furry family members! True to our name, ManyPets insures many pets in Ohio.
Ohio is a great place to be a pet parent — but the state is fairly expensive when it comes to veterinary care. The average ManyPets insurance claim in the Buckeye State is $411. By comparison, the average US claim is $399, and Montana boasts our lowest state average at $238 per claim.
And these are just averages.
Costs can soar with emergency care, specialist treatments, and surgeries. Treating cancer can cost more than $10,000.
ManyPets is here to help in Ohio and all around the country. Our insurance plan covers both accidents and illnesses, with no annual or lifetime payout limits.
We even offer an optional Wellness Plan that can reimburse you for routine and preventative care.
Why get pet insurance in Ohio?
From ponds to pollen, furry Ohioans should splash with care and sniff with caution. Here's what to look out for.
Waterborne illnesses
Ohio's lakes and streams have refreshed many furry friends. But such soggy pastimes can expose them to serious waterborne illnesses like leptospirosis and Giardia. Remember: Stagnant or murky water isn’t for swimming or drinking.Seasonal allergies
From springtime pollen to fall mold spores, four-legged Ohioans are susceptible to seasonal sniffles and itching. Keep your pet’s living areas clean, regularly bathe them, and consider using air purifiers.Histoplasmosis
Histoplasmosis–AKA "Ohio River Valley Fever"–is a fungal infection that comes from bird or bat droppings in the soil. (Blech!) Symptoms include coughing, fever, and reduced appetite. Keep pets away from damp areas like old barns, caves, and bird roosts.Find the pawfect plan

Is pet insurance worth it in Ohio?
Without insurance, veterinary care can drain your savings or be unaffordable, especially for acute conditions needing surgery or costly treatments. For example, hip surgeries can cost up to $4,000, knee surgeries up to $5,000, and cancer treatments over $10,000.
Vet costs are rising due to advances in veterinary health care and specialty treatments, leading to better care but higher expenses. Without pet insurance, you may be unable to afford treatments if your pet becomes sick or injured.
Pet insurance can quickly reimburse approved claims, putting money back in your bank account.
And in some critical situations, it may be the only thing that lets you opt for life-saving treatment instead of euthanasia.
Unfortunately, unexpected veterinary costs do pop up, and the last thing you want to worry about is money when your focus should be on helping your pet feel better.
Good pet insurance policies will pay for most treatment options that your veterinarian might recommend. Some insurance companies even offer wellness plans to reimburse you for preventive care! The peace of mind that pet insurance provides is truly priceless.

Far too often, pet parents must dip into their savings to treat their four-legged friends. Our mission is to prevent that.
However, there are instances when claims won’t qualify for coverage. We want our customers to be fully informed, and we don’t believe in burying important information in the fine print.
Like other pet insurers, ManyPets doesn't cover pre-existing conditions (more on that below). Our insurance policy also won't reimburse for preventative care, though our Wellness Plan will.
How does ManyPets define pre-existing conditions?
ManyPets defines a pre-existing condition as:
While pet insurance companies usually exclude pre-existing conditions, ManyPets will no longer consider a condition pre-existing if your pet has been symptom-free, undiagnosed, and untreated for 18 months (except for hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament conditions, and, in some states, invertebral disc disease).
