Pet insurance
Reimbursement, limits, deductibles, age, waiting periods, and exclusions.
Pet insurance reimburses eligible veterinary costs at a set percentage (commonly 50% or 70%), subject to entry-age limits, illness and cancer waiting periods, annual and daily limits, deductibles, and exclusion of pre-existing conditions.
Benefits may vary by: insurer · employment status · municipality · household

Key points
- Enroll before conditions develop — pre-existing illness is excluded.
- Compare reimbursement %, annual and daily limits, and deductibles together.
- Waiting periods (often 30 days illness, 90 days cancer) vary by insurer.
- Direct veterinary settlement is convenient but not universal.
50% vs 70% and the fine print
A 70% plan is not automatically better than 50%: weigh the premium, deductible, annual limit, age-based repricing, covered conditions, and claim frequency. Compare pet insurance against a dedicated veterinary savings reserve.
