Insurance FAQ

Even though your pet is healthy today, they may not be tomorrow. We receive many calls each year from pet owners who want to purchase pet insurance after their animal has become sick or hurt; at this time, it is unfortunately too late to get coverage for that particular accident or illness. Premiums are low and the benefits are high; preparation today can prevent financial strain tomorrow.

It's true that some breeds are more prone to hereditary conditions than others. 24PetWatch^® Pet Insurance Programs has policies that can provide coverage for these types of conditions. Dogs may be enrolled as young as 8 weeks of age and up to 10 years of age, cats may be enrolled as young as 8 weeks of age to 12 years of age.

Medical conditions that are noted, symptomatic or diagnosed prior to enrollment or within the Policy's Illness Wait period are pre-existing to Coverage and not available for coverage. This advertisement is an outline only, the actual policy issued terms and conditions will prevail.

Eligible reimbursement is dependent on the Maximum annual limit, co-insurance and deductible selected for your purchased policy.
