PHI Direct is truly affordable pet insurance for Canada’s cats and dogs. PHI Direct’s policies are, on average, 45% less for dogs and 37% less for cats than other Canadian providers. They provide up to $10,000 of coverage per year, telehealth coverage is included as-standard and they have a low $200 deductible – so your vet bills are covered sooner.

Extremely professional, fair, and transparent insurance company.

I was one of PHI Direct's early customers and I took a chance on them when my previous provider closed up shop. Since the very start, I have found their sign up and fees to be very reasonable and easy to understand. I appreciate the level of professionalism in the documents they send and in their customer service communication. There are no surprises since everything is laid out clearly in the paperwork. Making a claim was super easy, and they answered any and every question I had very transparently. I am very happy with this company and hope to be with them for as long as I have my cats!

With just a few clicks, you get simple, easy to understand pet insurance when you need it, and at a low monthly premium.

The online sign-up process took just a few moments and they even accept PayPal and Apple Pay for added convenience and security. Their easy-to understand explainers with examples make it very clear how coverage works, so there are no surprises. If you're looking for basic coverage for your pet, look no further. PHI Direct are what they say they are: Fluff-free.

Great customer service!

While I haven't submitted a claim yet, the signup process was simple and when my credit card on file was compromised (elsewhere) the day of my monthly payment, PHI called to check in and ensured I had no problem changing to a new card, once it arrived, without losing coverage. I hope to never make a claim, but if I need to, I am confident the care and attention to detail from their support team will make it a seamless experience while allowing my family to focus on what's most important in that moment - the health of our pets.
