Pet Insurance
How coverage works, and what it won't cover.
What to know
- Insurance almost never covers pre-existing conditions.
- Accident-only plans cost less but exclude illness.
- Most plans reimburse you after you pay the clinic.
Next steps
- 1Compare deductible, reimbursement rate, and annual cap — not just the monthly price.
- 2Check waiting periods before coverage starts.
- 3Enroll while your dog is healthy if you can.
