FAQ
Common Questions and Answers About Your Pet Insurance Policy Options
My pet is covered by my renters/homeowners policy. Is that enough?
Homeowners and renters policies typically cover liability if your pet injures someone else or damages their property. They generally do not address veterinary costs for injuries or illnesses affecting your pet. A separate pet insurance policy addresses those medical expenses according to the policy terms.
Are examinations required before getting coverage?
Carriers typically request recent medical records and may require a wellness exam to document your pet's current health status. This documentation helps establish any pre-existing conditions. Your veterinarian's office can provide the necessary records.
What determines pet insurance rates?
Several factors affect premium costs: age, species, breed, location, selected deductible, and coverage limits. For a young, healthy pet, basic coverage often starts around $20-40 monthly. Contact us to learn about current rates and options.

When evaluating pet insurance policies, reviewing coverage details matters. Deductibles, waiting periods, and coverage limits vary between carriers.
