Today we are going to continue our journey through the finance niche with my 10 pet insurance affiliate programs to feed this year. As with others in this series, this post has come about from a recent one I did covering insurance programs as whole where it quickly became evident that there is so much to choose from within this niche that I have had to expand on every example I had included.
So for those looking to specialise within the pet insurance market, or add to any other pet or animal related niche, let's check out what I have found.

- What they offer
- Commission rates
- Payment terms
- Cookie duration
- Application processes
- Affiliate/Marketing materials provided

9. Eusoh
Eusoh has turned the world of pet insurance into a community cost sharing arrangement where fees are kept to a minimum via the fact that all claim expenses are paid out of the community ‘bucket' rather than an insurance ‘pool'. With this program, members share the costs themselves and pay their monthly fees based on the amount that has been spent out of the kitty.
Once a member joins and pays their initial membership fee (around $17), a monthly charge is levied based on the amount of money spent within the community. This is also capped and members can claim for all of the usual options such as:
- Emergency Care
- Accidents
- Illnesses
- Cancer
- Orthopaedic issues
- Hereditary conditions
- Prescription Medications
- Routine Care
You could possibly base an affiliate business on this one however it would definitely work well as an addition to any pet, pet care or animal based niche or community group based undertakings as well.
Commission Rate: Not Stated
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: Not Stated
Application required?: Yes. Application via the email address on the affiliate page.

Policies are then chosen to cover everything from protection against future accidents and illnesses in terms of vet care and surgeries etc. to post-operative care as well.
This would make a great addition to any insurance based niche or of course as an add on to anything to do with pets.
Commission Rate: Up to $100 per pet
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 90 Days
Application required?: Yes, you will need to enter personal and website information to apply.

How to find your own affiliate programs
As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every pet insurance related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.
All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).
There are pet insurance affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:
- Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
- Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality or untrustworthy products.
- Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
- Pay decent commissions.
- Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.
In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:
- Your website name.
- Traffic levels.
- Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your cat insurance is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
Conclusion
So… There are 10 of the best pet insurance affiliate programs to feed this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own insurance based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.
Until next time
Have fun
Paul
