If your pet first enrolled in our plan at age 4 or younger, your pet can enjoy lifetime coverage of chronic illnesses.

If your pet first enrolled in our plan at age 5 or older, chronic illnesses will still be covered for the first policy year they occur. However, the specific illness will be considered a pre-existing condition and excluded for subsequent policy periods.

Chronic illnesses can be very costly to treat. Make sure your furry buddy is covered by getting insurance at an early age!
