What Does Pet Insurance Not Cover?

Pet insurance plays a vital role in helping safeguard your pet's health, covering a spectrum of unexpected accidents and illnesses. But most pet insurance plans do not cover the following:

  1. Pre-existing Conditions

  2. Grooming

  3. Funeral Costs

Spot plans can cover curable pre-existing conditions that have been symptom-free and without treatment for six months, though knee and ligament conditions are exclusions.

What is the waiting period?

Waiting periods begin the day after you purchase your policy and last until your coverage's effective date. Typically, any illness, disease, injury, or change to your pet's health that first occurs or shows symptoms before coverage is effective is considered pre-existing and is not eligible for coverage.
