What's not covered
We want to make care accessible to as many pets as possible, which is why we try to keep exclusions to a minimum.
Like all pet insurers, we do not cover pre-existing conditions, which are basically any illness or injury that your pet had before coverage started. They will not be covered unless cured.
- Pre-existing conditions
- Waste disposal
- Boarding/grooming
