Accident-Only policy
We're sure you already know this, but Pet Insurance is meant to protect you and your pet against future health events -- just like car insurance or renters insurance. This simply means that we cannot cover any pre-existing conditions or health issues that are associated with them.
For a complete list of what is not covered, feel free to view our sample Accident-Only policy.
Pre-existing Injuries
This plan does not provide coverage for Pre-Existing Injuries, even if treatment takes place while coverage is otherwise in effect.
Cruciate Ligament Events
We do not cover the costs, fees, or expenses associated with Cruciate Ligament Events.
