When should I get dog insurance?

The best time to think about insurance for your dog is when they’re young and healthy (puppy or young adult). Every dog is prone to certain types of illnesses and injuries in each stage of life, and insurance helps you be prepared every step of the way.

TIP: No dog insurance provider covers pre-existing conditions. Insuring your dog when they’re young or when you first bring them home helps you get the most out of your cover because they’re less likely to develop pre-existing conditions.
