I just adopted my dog a couple days ago. He recently turned 1, and I want to get him health insurance. What should I look for in the policy? Any insurance plans you recommend?

I personally recommend PetPlan but there are many options out there, just make sure you are not taking an insurance with bad reputation, too cheap usually means they will not cover a lot of things. you should look minimally for 4-5 K$ cover per condition.
