What can affect whether your pet is eligible?
Eligibility requirements vary between providers and products.
Pet Type
Available mainstream pet insurance options are generally focused on eligible cats and dogs, depending on the provider.
Pet Age
Minimum and maximum entry ages may apply when starting a new policy.
Breed
Breed-related eligibility, exclusions or additional conditions may apply depending on the provider.
Medical History
Existing or previous medical conditions may affect eligibility, exclusions or available benefits.
Understand what may not be covered
Pet insurance is designed for specified insured risks rather than every veterinary expense. Always review the exclusions and conditions before arranging cover.
- Pre-existing condition exclusions or restrictions
- Waiting periods before certain benefits become available
- Annual or per-condition limits
- Excess or co-payment amounts
- Age and breed eligibility requirements
- Routine or preventive care exclusions unless specifically included
Why waiting periods matter
Some benefits may not begin immediately after the policy starts. Different waiting periods can apply to accidents, illnesses or particular conditions depending on the product.
Check the policy effective date and applicable waiting periods before relying on the cover.
