Embrace Pet Insurance recently released its data for the more than 200,000 claims filed last year.
The No. 1 problem sending cats to the veterinarian was intestinal issues, which includes vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. According to Embrace, the average cat claim is more expensive than the average dog claim. This could be because cats are better at hiding their pain and discomfort, so by the time pet owners seek treatment, the problem is more advanced.
