Pet Health Insurance Basics
Pet insurance with Petsecure is like having group health benefits for your pet. It's a unique way to ensure that whenever you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best of care.
Why would you choose to insure your pet?
As pet parents, we believe we can protect our pets from harm. Yet, if you think about it, no matter how much love and care we provide, accidents and illness are still beyond our control.
Removes financial concerns in crucial times
Being a pet parent is very rewarding; however, it also comes with responsibility and commitment. Even in tough financial times, investing in pet health insurance is a great way to keep your pet's health and your finances on track. Even more important, Petsecure give you the confidence of knowing that when you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best veterinary treatment and care - you're prepared for the unexpected.
Access the best care
for your pet
Each year, there are tremendous advances in veterinary treatment. However, the cost of providing the very best care can be high. While there's no public health system in Canada for pets, with Petsecure, you always know your pets will have access to excellent medical care if they suddenly become sick, develop a serious medical condition, or suffer any injuries.
What is typically covered?
Accident Coverage
If your dog gets hit by a car, your cat gets in a scrap with a feline stray or your new puppy falls off the couch and lands the wrong way, Petsecure pet insurance is there to make sure they're...All taken care of. Accidents happen and with our coverage limits renewing per accident for the life of your pet, you will always have coverage you can count on.
Illness Coverage
When you choose illness coverage, if your pet gets an ear infection, your dog suffers from hip dysplasia or your cat develops diabetes, we cover it! No matter what type or level of coverage you choose, your Petsecure benefits automatically renew annually to make sure that year after year your pet is covered.
Test and Medication Coverage
With accident and illness coverage, if your furry friend has an accident or becomes ill and needs a trip to the veterinarian, it's covered. Chances are they may also need diagnostic testing, medications and maybe even hospitalization. This includes: x-rays, MRIs, CAT scans and even prescriptions. If so, Petset Accident and Illness, and Petsecure Secure For Life™ plans cover it all! There's no fine print excluding part of your veterinary visit.
See Secure For Life™, and Petset for details.
What to Look For
Dental Coverage
Did you know you're 40% more likely to get your pet's teeth cleaned if you have pet insurance that covers it? What you may not
realize though, is that pet medical studies have shown that pets who have proper dental care are healthier than those who don't. With all our Secure For Life™ plans there is annual preventive dental care included. You can use your dental coverage for an annual cleaning or problems with your pet's teeth and/or gums.
Preventive Care

and animal health
specialists all believe
that routine wellness
care for dogs and
cats is a pivotal part
of responsible pet parenting. It's something that needs to be done and creates a foundation for the health and quality of life of your pet. For those who want to ensure everything is covered, we've designed Petsecure's Secure 4, which incorporates comprehensive annual wellness care.

Pita
Andrea Mason, Halifax, NS
Just want to tell you how glad I am that I purchased pet insurance from Petsecure! I am the proud owner of two border collies, one of which is "Pita."
I participate in flyball with Pita. Last October, she scraped her leg badly at the end of the season, and I got a little scared at how hurt she could get if she should hit a jump or another dog. So I decided to get pet insurance this January. You just never know what just might happen while playing flyball!
All was well until the beginning of March when she started vomiting and wasn't her usual bubbly self - and she wouldn't even look at a tennis ball! I took her to the vet and they felt an odd lump in her intestine. An X-ray revealed a blockage, and she needed immediate surgery.
I was so very happy that I had gotten pet health insurance, but was a little worried as we had been members for only three months before her incident. Her surgery and hospital stay cost about $1,350. I submitted my claim and we received our cheque two weeks to the day from the time it was submitted! Wow!
I am so glad I got pet health insurance for Pita. The help from Petsecure when I called to see what was covered and how to get reimbursed was amazing! They were so good. Pita and I missed the first two flyball tournaments due to the surgery. However, she is doing well and now ready to race! I would recommend pet insurance to anyone! Thanks, Petsecure, for being such a great company. Keep up the good work!
