• 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 have a 14-day waiting period for illness coverage and a two-day waiting period for accident coverage. For dogs, there's a six-month orthopedic waiting period (OWP) related to bones, joints, ligaments and more.

Once your waiting period has ended, your pet is covered. Rest assured coverage will be there when you need it.
