Why We Recommend Pet Insurance If You Live in New York

Our pets have a knack for getting into trouble. And in New York, they don’t have to go far to find it. Danger can be found in passing cars, harsh weather, or eating food they shouldn't. Here's a list of some of the most common claims and worries from our pet parents who live in New York:

Anxiety

Get dog insurance in case of Bordetella Bronchispetica (aka Kennel Cough) 

Visiting the dog park and sending your pup off to doggy daycare exposes them to a highly contagious respiratory disease called kennel cough. Dogs living in metropolitan areas of New York are also more at risk due to crowded environments. Many of our pet parents that have pet insurance in New York take advantage of our Wellness Rewards to help budget for vaccinations that can help prevent Kennel Cough.

Pets are just like us, which means digestive difficulties can happen out of nowhere. Was it something they ate? Better question, what didn’t they eat? From vomiting to diarrhea, upset stomachs can often speak to major issues like parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, or a blocked intestinal tract.

Extreme Heat

Extreme Heat

In parts of New York, a backyard is a rare commodity, so walks are the way of the world. But when the weather heats up, it can be dangerous for your four-legged friends to be out and about with the risk of overheating, dehydration, heatstroke, and burned paws. On a sunny 90°F day, the sidewalk can reach up to 135°F!*

What’s not covered with cat and dog insurance?

While no pet insurance covers pre-existing conditions – Embrace included – we do distinguish between curable and incurable pre-existing conditions and cover curable conditions after your pet is symptom and treatment-free for 12 months when we consider pre-existing condition pet insurance.

We also do not cover cosmetic procedures (declawing, ear cropping, tail docking, etc.), breeding and whelping, DNA testing, or cloning.

For routine and preventative care, we offer a flexible Wellness Rewards plan, which is the perfect complement to your full pet insurance policy.
