Editorial policy: how we get our data
The rules behind every number on Pet Insurance Cost Guide: where figures come from, how pages are produced, and how to get an error fixed.
Sources are official-first across Canada: federal agencies, state regulators, court fee schedules and published 2026 industry surveys.
A typical page cites between 3 and 12 sources, listed at the bottom of that page.
Verified corrections go live across Canada, usually within 7 days.
| Policy | Rule |
|---|---|
| Sourcing | Official documents first; no copying from other comparison sites |
| Prices | 2026 published ranges, never quotes |
| Automation | Software applies editorial rules to public data; humans write and review the rules |
| Corrections | Verified fixes live within about 7 days |
| Advertising | Partners never see or approve pages before publication |
Where the numbers come from
We source across Canada from official 2026 documents first: federal agencies, state and provincial regulators, court fee schedules, and published industry surveys covering Canada. Each page lists its sources at the bottom; a typical page cites between 3 and 12 of them. We do not copy figures from other comparison sites.
How prices are presented
Every figure is a 2026 published range shown across Canada, not a quote. We show the typical span plus the low and high ends, because the honest answer to 'what does it cost' is a range that depends on your location and situation.
Automation disclosure
This site covers thousands of locations across Canada with 2026 data, and those pages are produced with software assistance: our editorial team writes the research, the rules and the templates, and software applies them to public data for each location. The team reviews the rules and samples the output; software never invents a price.
Corrections
If a figure looks wrong, email contact@petinsurancecostguide.com with the page address and the source you believe is correct. Verified corrections are applied to every affected page across Canada, usually within 7 days, and the page's 'Updated' date reflects the fix.
Advertising
Referral buttons are labelled, and the advertising disclosure appears in the footer of every page. Partners never see or approve a page before it is published, anywhere in Canada.
