Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. All our plans can be used with any licensed veterinarian, anywhere in the world—even specialists and emergency providers. Get a no-obligation quote.
We offer nose-to-tail coverage for:
- Accidents, including broken bones, sprains, lacerations and poisoning
- Illnesses, including allergies, ear infections, arthritis and cancer, and more
- Preventive care, including checkups, vaccinations and flea/tick preventive
Once you’ve met your annual deductible, we’ll reimburse you for eligible veterinary expenses according to the percentage or benefit schedule you selected for your plan, up to the applicable policy limit.
Say you have a $250 annual deductible with $5,000 in accident coverage at 90% reimbursement. Now let’s say your dog broke a leg and the vet bill was $2,500, of which $2,400 was covered (we don’t cover non-medical things like tax and waste disposal). After your deductible and 90% are applied, we’d reimburse you $1,935, leaving you with $3,065 in remaining accident coverage for the remainder of your policy term.
The best pet insurance for you is one that provides a level of coverage you’re comfortable with and fits your budget for monthly premiums. When choosing your plan, consider how much medical care (for accidents and illnesses) is typical for your pet’s breed and whether you want wellness coverage for preventive care.
Most plans start 14 days after your application is approved and payment has been received. If you’re enrolling as part of a group or organization, effective dates vary.
