Checkers Pet Insurance is a real, currently active product, underwritten by OUTsurance. Verified against Checkers' own site in July 2026 — Checkers' page blocked automated re-verification on our final check, so confirm current premiums directly before buying.

Is it worth it?

The Accident plan's R69/month entry point is genuinely low-cost if you just want a safety net for emergencies, while Comprehensive adds routine care most basic plans skip.
