Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Essential Pet Insurance with Accident Only cover worth it?

    Despite being the most basic cover, Essential Pet Insurance with Accident Only gives your peace of mind that your dog or cat will get appropriate treatment in case of an emergency related to an accident without you worry as much about the costs of the vet fees.

    However, if you would like to ensure that your pet is covered in case of a reoccurring or ongoing illness, for as long as it lasts, our Premier Plus Pet Insurance with Lifetime cover is a better option.

  • What is considered an accident for Pet Insurance?

    Accidents usually includes torn ligaments, bite wounds, cuts, broken bones, swallowed objects and toxic ingestions. Therefore, vets fees can be covered for x-rays, MRI, ultrasounds, bloodwork, sutures, medications, hospitalizations and surgery.

  • When should I buy Essential Pet Insurance?

    Essential Pet Insurance with Accident Only covers accidents that happen during the period of insurance. The sooner you insure your dog or cat, you can benefit from the cover greatly as puppies and kittens are more accident prone.

You can count on a 24/7 helpline for emergencies, so you have the assistance you need any time of the day.
