Frequently Asked Questions


Is my pet eligible for pet insurance?

All dogs and cats 8 weeks old and up are eligible coverage – even older pets! No pet parent will be denied coverage based on their pet’s medical history or age. Even better? No physical exams or vet certifications are required prior to enrollment.

The policy is customizable to your needs. You can choose a deductible of $100, $250, or $500. The deductible is annual, so after you meet the deductible amount you select, you won’t have to satisfy it again until your next 12-month plan period. (Note: You do not have to satisfy your deductible before you can be reimbursed for preventative care if you add Preventive Care to your plan for a small additional charge.)

Veterinary bills are reimbursed at up to 90, 80, or 70%, depending on the reimbursement percentage you selected when you bought the policy.

What payment options are available?

Payments are accepted on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. Pet parents can choose to pay via credit card or through an automated checking withdrawal.

Can I have more than one pet on my account?

Yes! You can enroll multiple pets at one time or add pets later. Every pet will have an individual policy and premium. You’ll receive a 10% discount on the base plan premium for each additional pet you insure with us.
