Benefits of Parrot Pet Insurance

Buying parrot pet insurance has various benefits for pet parrot owners. These benefits are as follows:

Choosing the Vet of your Choice

Parrots are considered exotic animals, so not all traditional vets may have the knowledge to care for them. Having insurance for your parrot allows you to explore different treatment options and find a vet who truly understands their needs, all without worrying about costs.

Saving Costs and Expenditure

Insurance policies are a smart way to save money on your parrot’s care. They cover everything from treatments and surgeries to medications, making it easier to manage expenses.

Financial Security

Treating pet parrots can be quite costly, often reaching thousands of dollars. Many pet owners without insurance find themselves relying on savings to cover these expenses.

Pet insurance for your parrot gives you a safety-net, allowing you to treat your parrot without worrying about emergency vet bills. A good policy can cover you for treatments, surgery, medication and more.

Parrot insurance FAQs

What is the cost of Parrot Insurance?

As with most pet insurance policies, the cost you pay will depend on things like the breed and age of your parrot, plus any medical conditions it may have.

Age of Parrots for Insurance

You can take out a new Petcover insurance policy for your pet parrot from the age of 12 weeks old, right up until the day before their 25th birthday.

Can You Insure Recently Sick Birds?

On average most insurance providers cannot provide insurance coverage for your parrots if they have undergone medical treatment in the past 3 months. Similarly, most pet insurance coverage policies do not count 3 weeks before their start date.

However, you can get a suitable coverage plan for your parrots during any other period for your birds.
