Accident-Only Pet Insurance

Pet insurance that solely covers accidents will not pay for the cost of treating illnesses, breed-specific health problems, or routine wellness expenses that may be incurred.

Plans with accident-only coverage might provide you the assurance that you have a fallback plan in place in the event that your pet has an accident-related injury. Snake bites, burns, falls, and automobile accidents are a few examples of injuries brought on by accidents.

How Does Accident-Only Coverage Works

Emergency care for unintentional injuries will be covered by accident-only insurance. Accidents are characterized as unanticipated events that cause bodily harm to your pet, including burns, wounds, fractures, and more. Accident-only policies do not cover diseases or conditions unique to a particular breed. However, it will pay for emergency care connected to accidents, such as treatment for a pet that has fallen and broken bones or been struck by a car.

What does insurance coverage for pet accidents and illnesses entail?

Insurance for accidents and illnesses covers both unanticipated illnesses and accidents. It is the most common type of policy offered by the pet insurance, dog insurance or cat insurance industry, making up around 98% of all plans. This type of coverage won't pay for preventive care or pre-existing conditions, but almost everything else will be paid.

An accident-illness coverage offers the option to acquire a wellness add-on. Despite being the most expensive type of plan offered, it provides the highest level of coverage. Pre-existing conditions may not be covered by many businesses, nevertheless.
