Lemonade Pet Insurance Review

AI-powered pet insurance with the most affordable premiums, fast digital claims, and highly customizable coverage options.

By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 29, 2026.

Our verdict

Lemonade is among the cheapest pet insurers, from $10 a month, with reimbursement from 70% to 90% and annual limits up to $100,000. The base plan leaves out exam fees, and dental and wellness need paid add-ons, so the low price climbs as you add coverage. It's sold in 43 states plus DC.

Skip it if you want exam fees covered without add-ons, or live outside its 43 states and DC.
