What’s covered under boarding fees?

If you’re ever hospitalized as a result of an injury or illness while your policy is in effect, we’ll reimburse you up to $1,000 per year for the cost of boarding your pet at a licensed facility.


What isn’t covered under boarding fees?

Your policy doesn’t cover boarding fees if:

  • You’re admitted to the hospital because of an injury or illness, which first occurred or showed clinical signs before the effective date of your policy (in other words, a pre-existing condition)

  • You’re admitted to the hospital for substance abuse, or following self-inflicted illness, or injury, or a suicide attempt

  • You’re admitted to the hospital as a result of pregnancy or childbirth

  • You’re treated for anything besides illness or injury

  • You’re treated somewhere other than a hospital

  • You’re hospitalized for less than 96 hours
