Why is it important to insure early?

The ideal time to get pet insurance could be as early as possible —before any pre-existing conditions arise. This will mean more extensive coverage throughout your pet’s life if you stay with Petsy. We offer the option to start coverage as early as 6 weeks old. 

What happens when you insure your pet early

Start off on the right paw

Insuring your pet as early as possible means you’re likely to avoid pre-existing condition exclusions, maximising your coverage and setting your pet up for a healthy future. 

Exclusion period could end when your pet arrives home

Petsy Pet Insurance has a 14 day exclusion period for illness coverage. Insuring early (6 weeks) means your pet might be covered for illnesses by the time they come home at 8 weeks old. 

Accidents can happen

Young pets are little balls of energy and they can get into all sorts of unexpected situations. Pet insurance can help to provide a financial safety net from day one. 

Easy medical history check 

We’ll offer a pre-existing condition assessment upfront and as soon as you start your policy. After your pet has had their first vet visit, we can collect a copy of their medical history that will help fast tract any future claims process. 

Benefits of completing a pre-existing condition assessment early

Clear coverage and speedy claims process later

You’ll know what’s covered and if you ever need to make a claim, we’ll already have your pet’s history on file. This means quicker assessments and faster payouts when you need it most.
