How Much Does Pet Insurance Cost In Oregon?

We ran quotes for pet insurance plans in Oregon with our best-rated pet insurance providers (see below). We chose dogs based on the state list of popular breeds above. None of the quotes we ran were for pets with pre-existing conditions.

All quotes are from April 2021 and are for example purposes only. You should run your own pet insurance quotes to get an estimate of how much pet insurance will cost for your pet.

As you can see, prices vary depending on the dog’s age, location, and breed. You can also adjust the monthly premium by raising or lowering the deductible or reimbursement percentage. Read our pet insurance comparison to learn more about the differences in deductibles, reimbursement levels, payout options by company, coverage, and more.

Note: The monthly price will likely increase slightly each year as your dog ages and experiences more health concerns. Vet costs also rise over time, making pet care more expensive, which can also impact your policy premium.
