Why We Recommend Pet Insurance in Mississippi?
Wild Hogs
Apart from the external damage that they can cause to land, property, and our pets, the internal diseases that wild hogs carry can be equally dangerous. There are over 40 known diseases traced back to wild hogs. Dogs exposed to feral hogs are at risk for pseudorabies. Although this disease is not a threat to humans, it is fatal in dogs. The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce estimates there are more than 500,000 hogs across the state. This shows the level of threat these animals pose to the state.

Pet Insurance FAQs
Have questions about pet insurance and how it works? Let’s dig up an answer.
Which pet insurance in Mississippi covers pre-existing conditions?
Most pet insurance providers don’t cover pre-existing conditions. However, with a Spot plan, this doesn’t mean the condition can’t be covered in the future if the condition is curable. An injury or illness that is curable, cured, and free of treatment and symptoms for 180 days will no longer be regarded as pre-existing, with the exception of knee and ligament conditions. If a knee or ligament condition occurs before the coverage effective date or during a waiting period, any future ones won’t be covered.
