    What Is Pet Insurance?

    Pet insurance provides reimbursement for medical expenses accrued as the result of injury, illness, or, in some cases, the preventative care of your animals. Designed primarily for dog and cat owners, pet insurance may cover any of the following:

    • Accidents
    • Hereditary Conditions
    • Congenital Conditions
    • Illnesses
    • Preventative Care
    • Behavioral Issues
    • Prescription Medication and Food

    The specific coverages will depend upon your policy. In the event that your pet experiences any covered events, the owner pays the vet directly and submits a claim for reimbursement of all or part of the amount paid.

    This type of insurance is designed to protect policyholders from the financial stress that can be caused by unexpected veterinarian bills.

    What Is Covered by an Pet Insurance Policy?

    The exact coverage provided by pet insurance depends in large part upon the type of policy a pet owner chooses. These are some options commonly available. In addition to these options, pet owners may be able to add riders onto their policies to obtain additional coverage.

    Accident-Only

    Accident-only pet insurance covers medical care related to accidents. Covered injuries may include bites, ligament tears, cuts, broken bones, ingested objects, snake bites, and ingested poison.

    Comprehensive

    Comprehensive pet insurance provides coverage for a wide range of illnesses and injuries. These can include accidents, injuries, hereditary conditions, infections, chronic conditions, and more.

    Routine Care

    Routine, or preventative care, pet insurance provides coverage for medical care that pets receive on a regular basis. This can include annual checkups, vaccinations, spay and neuter procedures, and more.
