Policy terms and eligibility may vary and are subject to change. Exclusions, policy conditions, and limitations apply. Pre-existing conditions may be excluded from coverage. Review your policy documents for full details. Premiums may increase at renewal for reasons including but not limited to pet's age, location, or claim history.

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
