Are there any restrictions on the age or breed of pets eligible for coverage?

Asked 2 years ago
ShelterCare Pet Insurance has certain guidelines regarding the age and breed of pets eligible for coverage. Generally, most plans have no explicit breed restrictions, which allows a wide range of pets to be covered. However, specific breeds may have certain underwriting considerations due to their predisposition to certain health conditions. As for age restrictions, ShelterCare typically provides coverage for pets that are as young as eight weeks old. There is usually no upper age limit for pets to be eligible for coverage, but older pets might face certain limitations or exclusions related to pre-existing conditions. It is important to note that insurance plans may differ in their terms and conditions, so prospective pet owners should examine the specifics of the coverage options available. It is advisable for individuals to review the current details on the ShelterCare website or consult the customer support for the most precise and updated information about age and breed-related restrictions for their particular situation.
