About Us & Editorial Review Board
Our Mission: Transparent, Actuarially Sound Pet Healthcare Guidance
At Pet Insurance Guide, we believe no pet owner should ever have to make the agonizing choice between their animal’s life and their personal financial solvency. We demystify the pet insurance marketplace through rigorous veterinary medical review, actuarial cost modeling, and transparent policy fine-print analysis.
Why We Started Pet Insurance Guide
The companion animal health insurance industry is exploding, with dozens of carriers, hundreds of policy permutations, and complex underwriting fine print that confuses even seasoned pet parents. From obscure 6-month bilateral cruciate ligament clauses to surprise dental illness exclusions and steep senior rate spikes, choosing the wrong policy can leave an owner stranded with thousands of dollars in unpaid veterinary bills.
We created Pet Insurance Guide to serve as the definitive, consumer-first truth engine for pet insurance. We cut through marketing hype, download the actual legal policy specimen forms from state insurance commissioner databases, and explain exactly how policies perform in real-world clinical emergencies.
Meet Our Editorial & Veterinary Leadership
Dr. Sarah Jenkins, DVM
Chief Veterinary Editor & Chair of the Medical Review Board
Dr. Sarah Jenkins is a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) with over 14 years of clinical experience spanning emergency critical care, soft tissue surgery, and companion animal general practice. She earned her veterinary degree from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and completed advanced clinical rotations in emergency medicine at the Animal Medical Center in New York.
Throughout her career, Dr. Jenkins has managed thousands of emergency cases—from canine gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat) and cruciate tears to feline urethral blockages and oncology protocols. Frustrated by witnessing families confront economic euthanasia simply due to unexpected veterinary expenses, Dr. Jenkins joined Pet Insurance Guide to lead our Medical Review Board, ensuring every article is clinically accurate, medically rigorous, and actionable for pet parents.
The Veterinary & Actuarial Research Team
Policy Analysts, Licensed Vet Techs (LVTs) & Data Researchers
Our editorial desk is supported by licensed veterinary technicians, financial analysts, and insurance researchers who monitor state insurance filings (SERFF), analyze NAPHIA industry benchmarks, and track local veterinary inflation indices across 5-digit US ZIP codes. Together, they test online quote engines, submit mock claims, and review customer satisfaction data across all 50 US states.
