Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Program
-
Employees can cover their pets for accidents, illnesses, preventive care, chronic conditions, hereditary and congenital conditions, alternative therapies, and behavioral issues. Learn more about our plans.
-
Premiums will depend on a few factors, including the coverage chosen, the breed, species, and age of the pet, as well as the employee’s zip code.* Employees can customize their deductible and reimbursement percentage (sometimes called co-insurance) to fit their budget.
-
Employees are free to visit any licensed veterinarian, emergency clinic, or specialist in the US or Canada. They will pay their veterinarian and then submit a claim easily online, or complete a simple, one-page claim form and email, fax, or mail it to us with their invoice. We’ll reimburse covered charges within 7-10 days on average. We provide the option of reimbursement by check or direct deposit.
-
Employees are eligible for a 10% base rate group discount in most states* in addition to a 10% multi-pet discount for each additional pet. Contact us for more details.
-
No. Employees who enroll will have an individual policy with a premium that’s determined by their plan choice, ZIP code, and the breed, species, and age of their pet. Employees are eligible for a discount, where available, on their premium when a qualified group, such as an employer, adds our benefit.

Employees calling us to enroll or for questions about their plan can reach us from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST Monday through Friday.
