Types of dog insurance policies
There are four main types of pet insurance policy that you can get for your dog:
If your dog gets hurt in an accident, this insurance will help pay for the treatment he needs. It’s usually cheaper than other types of insurance, but it doesn’t cover your dog if he has any health problems – or if you have had any health problems in the past.
If something happens to your pet while you’re not there to take care of them, pet insurance can help cover the cost of their care.
With a time-limited policy, you can get a set amount of money to help pay for treatment for an illness or injury, and that money will last for a certain amount of time.
When you reach the cost limit or the time limit, the dog insurance will be the best it can be. If your dog gets sick halfway through the policy, you will have to renew the policy to get the full 12 months of coverage.
If your pet gets an ear infection, and then another infection in the other ear within the 12-month period, it won’t be covered by the insurance. Conditions that may have been present before the policy took effect won’t be covered.
If you have a pet, you might want to consider buying time-limited pet insurance. This insurance covers your pet in the event that it becomes sick or injured, and it lasts for a set amount of time.
If your dog becomes ill or is injured, this policy will pay you a set amount every time until you reach a limit. Once you reach the limit, the insurer will no longer pay out.
This means that if your pet’s problem becomes chronic, or if it recurs after reaching a certain amount, you will have to pay further treatment costs.
There is no time limit on how long you can keep your policy. As long as you have the policy and haven’t reached the maximum benefit yet, you can claim. “Recurring conditions” are not covered.

Your dog’s lifetime insurance policy will cover them for any new illnesses or injuries, no matter how long ago they occurred. If your dog has any pre-existing conditions before you buy the policy, they won’t be covered, but if they develop a condition while the policy is in effect, the company will help pay for treatment.
This is the best cover you can get, but it’s also the most expensive.
Your insurance policy has a maximum benefit limit. This limit depends on the type of policy you have, but it resets every year you renew it.
If your dog has arthritis and the treatment costs $4,000, you’re covered. If the treatment costs more than $6,000, you would have to cover the rest.
The arthritis is a chronic condition and your dog needs more treatment. The $6,000 limit resets every year you renew, so you can claim up to that amount again.
