Puppy insurance FAQs

Is pet insurance worth it for a puppy?

Insuring your puppy early helps protect them from future health issues and reduces the stress of unexpected vet bills. It covers a range of treatments and encourages regular vet visits, providing peace of mind when surprises arise. Even though it’s an added expense, the benefits usually outweigh the cost, making it a worthwhile investment for keeping your puppy healthy and happy.

Here’s what pet insurance for puppies can cover:

Illness: Insurance helps cover vet visits, treatments, and medications, easing the financial strain.

Injury: Accidents can be part of a puppy’s adventurous life. Insurance can cover emergency treatments, allowing you to concentrate on your puppy’s recovery.

Long-term medical conditions: Puppies can develop conditions and allergies, which may require ongoing care. Insurance can help manage these costs, keeping your puppy comfortable and healthy.

 

How much is puppy insurance?

Puppy insurance prices can vary significantly depending on several factors, including your puppy’s breed, age, health, and level of cover you choose.

For those looking for a financial safety-net, basic plans generally start around $61 per month.† These plans typically cover the essentials such as accident and illness treatments, helping to manage unexpected veterinary costs.

If you’re seeking extra cover, including protection for chronic conditions and long-term care, comprehensive ‘Umbrella for life’ policies are available. These plans provide more robust cover and start from $77 per month.† Lifetime policies like these often include higher claims limits, extra benefits like alternative therapies, and low excess payments.

 

Are puppy vaccinations covered by insurance?

Most pet insurance plans don’t cover routine vaccinations, as they’re considered preventive care rather than treatment for illness or injury. If you’re looking for a plan that includes vaccinations, you might want to think about a policy with wellness benefits.

Our mid-range dog insurance plan offers an optional “Day to Day Care” add-on, which can help towards the cost of vaccinations and routine care. Take a look at our dog insurance plans for more information.

 

What age can you insure a puppy?

At Petcover, we offer insurance for puppies from 8 weeks old. You can set your policy up before then to ensure they are covered from the day they turn 8 weeks old. At this point, you can choose any of our puppy insurance plans, from safety-net to superior.
