Does Pet Insurance Cover Preventative Care?
The short answer is that no, base pet insurance does not cover routine care. But don’t worry! There's another option! Pet insurance is meant for unexpected costs, like accidents and illnesses. It’s a safety net that every pet parent should have so that you never have to choose between lifesaving care for your furry friend and buying groceries this month.
But for routine and preventative care, you want a wellness plan. It's not insurance, it’s an optional add-on to your policy that helps you budget for routine care. Then, when you need to get that all-important checkup, you submit a claim for reimbursement. It’s fast, easy, and makes it a lot easier to manage those expenses.
