When does my policy start and when can I make a claim?

Created by Insurance Team Petsy, Modified on Wed, 18 Sep, 2024 at 12:23 PM by Insurance Team Petsy

Policy Start Date:


- Your policy starts at 23:59 on the chosen start date. 

- Coverage doesn’t begin immediately; there are exclusion periods that need to pass symptom-free before you can claim for treatment. 


Exclusion Periods:

- 1 Day: Accidental Injury (except Specified Conditions) 

- 14 Days: Illness (except Specified Conditions) and Dental Illness for pets under 1 year old 

- 6 Months: Dental Illness for pets 1 year and older, Behavioural Conditions, and Specified Conditions 


Making a Claim:

- You can submit a claim for unexpected injuries or illnesses covered by your policy after the exclusion periods end. 

- Claims must be submitted within 90 days from the date of treatment to ensure timely assessment.
