2 DECIDE ON THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS Of course, your dog insurance quote comparison will first focus on the dollar amounts involved - the premiums and deductibles. Both are important in choosing the best insurance for dog for many reasons - if you cannot pay the deductibles and/or the premiums for the year covered, then you and your pet will have no protection against the monetary risks involved in illnesses, injuries, and damage to third parties.
