Frequently Asked Questions
Enrolling your furry family member in Companion Protect is easy!
1. Ensure your pet qualifies.
Companion Protect is available to pet parents who recently adopted a dog or cat from one of our participating Shelter Partners.
2. Get a quote.
Your Companion Protect monthly premium is based on three simple factors: species (dog or cat), your zip code, and your pet’s age.
3. Submit an online application.
Provide a few details, including the best way to contact you, details about your pet, and the shelter you recently adopted from.
4. Provide recent medical records.
Companion Protect will request your pet’s medical records from your veterinarian (with your consent, of course!) to process your enrollment and determine if pre-existing condition exclusions apply. We value complete transparency with our customers and never want you to be surprised when it’s time to use your coverage. That’s why we notify you during the enrollment process if any pre-existing conditions will be excluded from your policy. You can rest easy knowing what is covered, up front.
If your pet hasn’t been to the vet within the past 12 months, an annual visit may be required to kick start coverage. Don’t worry, it will be fast and easy and will set your pet up for the best health and happiness they can handle!
Once we review your pet’s medical records, the process is quick! Within just a few days, we complete your enrollment and begin coverage with no waiting periods! That means you can rest easy knowing your four-legged family member is protected from unexpected accidents, injuries, illnesses and more!
Watch for your welcome kit, including policy and your pet’s insurance card in the mail within 3 to 5 business days of enrollment.
Companion Protect offers pet parents a comprehensive healthcare plan, with 90% coverage for unexpected accidents, injuries and illness. Including 90% coverage for prescription medications and 50% coverage for prescription food!

You can visit any licensed veterinarian and we’ll make filing a claim fast and easy! Just visit our Claims page to file online, or call us at 800-304-9930 to submit your claim over the phone.
When you visit the veterinarian, you’ll pay for services at that time and submit a claim for quick reimbursement, typically within 3-5 days of claim approval. Your reimbursement will be the amount of your approved claim less the $100 deductible and 10% copay.
Some conditions require pre-approval! Visit our Claims Process page for more information.

While no pet insurance company covers pre-existing conditions, Companion Protect values complete transparency with our customers.
Once we receive your enrollment application, we review your pet’s medical history to determine whether any pre-existing condition exclusions apply. When identified, we inform you of these exclusions up front — at the time of enrollment, in your welcome kit, and within your coverage policy — so you always know what to expect when it’s time to use your coverage.
Our Animal Care Advocates are happy to answer any questions you have regarding pre-existing conditions. Contact us at 800-304-9930!
