3. Wellness Routine Care Plan
   Wellness routine care plans cover include coverage for items such as vaccinations, teeth cleaning, and flea & tick prevention. This can be added on to either of the above two plans.

What’s Not Covered?

No pet insurance company covers pre-existing conditions. But, if your pet has a pre-existing condition (for example allergies) there are still thousands of other future health issues that pet insurance covers. Additionally, it’s not liability insurance and it’s not life insurance for pets.

How Much Does Pet Insurance Cost?
