Pet insurance represents the final frontier of private health liability management. In the 2026 veterinary ecosystem, the focus is on navigating **Reimbursement Velocity**, **Congenital Condition Clauses**, and **Actuarial Breed-Scoring**. Our S-Class engine analyzes the core coverage vectors: **Accident-vs-Illness Binary**, **Annual Aggregate Caps**, and **Wait-Period Friction**.
Standard calculators often fail to account for **Compound Premium Inflation**. Because pet insurance premiums increase as your pet ages, a $30 plan at age 2 can become a $150 plan at age 10. Our Pet Audit Engine applies a **Lifetime Value Index (LVI)**, identifying the 'Total Cost of Ownership' for a policy from puppyhood/kittenhood through geriatric care, rather than focusing solely on the initial 2026 introductory rate.
