How do I apply for pet health insurance?

It's easy to apply for pet health insurance! Before you fill out an application, make sure you have some information on hand, including:

  • Pet's name
  • Species
  • Gender
  • Breed
  • Age
  • Your address

During the application process, you can choose from several annual deductible options. The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your pet insurance payment will be. Then you can choose how much of your vet bill you want reimbursed. The lower the percentage, typically the less your insurance payment will be. Finally, you can choose your annual maximum, or the most the plan will pay in a year.

After you enroll, the insurance company could request your pet's medical records from your veterinarian's office.

When will my pet be covered?*

Policies may have waiting periods before some coverage will begin. You may also have questions about how a pet may impact your home insurance or other coverage that may be available.
