PROTECTAPET COVERS THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF YOUR PET ON ALL OF OUR PET HEALTHCARE PLANS

WHAT DOES ACCIDENTAL DEATH MEAN?

AM I COVERED FOR ACCIDENTAL DEATH BENEFITS WITH PROTECTAPET?

Yes, Protectapet will cover your pet for the accidental death of your pet from the day you take out the policy.  This cover is standard on all of our Pet Healthcare Plans.

WHAT DOES ACCIDENTAL DEATH MEAN?

Accidental death, as the name suggests, is a situation whereby the pet dies from an unexpected, sudden or tragic event.  It has nothing to do with the death of your pet from an illness.

HOW MUCH BENEFIT CAN I CLAIM FOR THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF MY PET?

That all depends on the policy you have with Protectapet.  We will pay a full refund of the purchase price of your pet up to the maximum  contracted on your pet healthcare policy.
 

WHAT ARE ACCIDENT ONLY PET INSURANCE PLANS?

In our honest opinion, accident only pet insurance plans are a waste of money.  Sure, your pet may have the odd accident in it's lifetime but your pet is more likely to suffer from an illness or disease.

Accident only pet insurance plans only offer cover for vets bills sustained as a result of an accident.  it does not cover illnesses or disease or old age, and will not cover any conditions or treatments unrelated to an accident. 

They will have an annual maximum claim limit, or offer a lifetime limit for continuing treatment related to the accident, as long as you keep renewing the policy.  There will of course, be an excess charge for each claim and the premiums will go up each year, especially if you have made a claim. 

Protectapet do not provide any accident only policies as we cover all accidents and emergencies as a standard feature of our pet healthcare plans.
