Why We Recommend Pet Insurance in Hawaii?
Laws and Regulations
Getting a pet into Hawaii comes with its own set of rules and regulations. To enter Hawaii, your pet must be microchipped, have 2 rabies vaccinations in its lifetime (with the most recent being within 30 days of your arrival to Hawaii), have a rabies titer test, tick treatments within 14 days of arrival, and a health certificate no older than 2 weeks. These in themselves are a big enough expense for a pet owner while moving from another state to Hawaii or even for a vacation. There’s a reason it’s a rabies-free state.

What if my Pet Has a Pre-Existing Condition? Can I Still Get Coverage?
Pet insurance generally does not cover pre-existing conditions. This means that if your pet has a pre-existing condition, it will not be included in your coverage. Spot Pet Insurance plans follow this standard policy, so pre-existing conditions are not covered under their plans. However, conditions that are cured and curable after 180 days of a. condition being symptom free and treatment free, a condition is no longer considered pre-existing.
