Pet insurance made easy
Coverage for your pet and your wallet
All from one credit card
Insurance built into the credit card
The Nibbles credit card has pet insurance included so your pet is protected. You don't have to use your card at the vet for coverage to work.
Included for eligible pets
The included base insurance policy covers one eligible pet. Pets must be 7 or more weeks old to qualify. Additional pets extra.
Coverage at every vet
Visit any licensed veterinarian in the US. No network restrictions means you choose the best care for your pets.
Automated claims process
Use your card at the vet and you will get an email asking if you want us to start a claim. We can file your claim for you, unlike other providers.
Protect your pet from the unexpected
Vet costs have risen 49% since late 2019 and 80% of pets will have a medical emergency in their lifetimes.
What does the base policy cover?
Coverage varies by state. Select your state:
Waiting periods are 0 days for accidents and 14 days for illness. Orthopedic conditions for both dogs and cats are subject to the standard waiting period for injury or illness.
Once the policy is finalized, waiting periods begin the day after.

How pet insurance works
Three key components determine how your pet insurance works
Annual Limit
The total amount insurance will reimburse you yearly for covered procedures.
How it works:
The annual limit is the ceiling of how much insurance will cover each year for your pet.
Base plan:
$20,000 annual limit
Upgrade options:
None.
Reimbursement Rate
The percentage of covered costs insurance pays after your deductible
How it works:
Once you pay your deductible, the insurance coverage will reimburse 70% of covered procedures. Reimbursement happens once a claim is approved.
Base plan:
70% reimbursement rate
Upgrade options:
Increase your reimbursement rate to 80% or 90% for lower out of pocket costs for any covered expense.
Deductible
The amount you pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in each year
How it works:
You pay this amount annually before your insurance starts covering eligible expenses based on the reimbursement rate. Any costs you pay for eligible accidents and illnesses will count toward your deductible.
Base plan:
$950 annual deductible
Upgrade options:
Lower your deductible to as low as $100 so the reimbursement rate kicks in more quickly.
Understanding pre-existing conditions
Most pet insurances exclude pre-existing conditions. So it’s important to insure your pet as early as possible before a condition occurs.
What is a pre-existing condition?
A condition may be deemed pre-existing when your pet was already showing clinical signs and symptoms before the policy start date or during the waiting period. This also includes conditions for which your pet has received previous treatment or medical advice.
We review the past medical records to determine if any conditions are deemed pre-existing.Why waiting periods matter
Issues that occur during waiting periods are also considered pre-existing. This protects against enrolling pets only after they become sick or injured.
Medical records review
When filing a claim, we will request your pet’s medical records (the past 24 months worth) to ensure accurate coverage determination.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pet eligibility for the included insurance depends on age, breed, gender, zip code, and other factors. Puppies and kittens need to be 7 or more weeks old at the time of applying. Dogs need to be under the age of 8 and cats need to be under the age of 10 at the time of enrollment.
Some pets can be ineligible for the built-in insurance benefit but eligible for paid pet insurance where you cover the premium. When applying, the eligibility pertains to the built-in base insurance.
-
- If you use the Nibbles card at the vet, we will see the transaction come through and send you an email asking if you would like us to file the claim for you. All you have to do is reply with “yes” and a brief sentence describing what happened..
- We will work with our insurance partner to get all of the appropriate documents over to them and to get the claim filed as quickly as possible.
- You will be informed when a decision has been made on your claim and reimbursed if necessary.
If you do not use your Nibbles card at the vet, your pet is still covered! However, you will have to file a manual claim through the account dashboard or via support@nibbles.com to initiate that process.
-
Additional pets currently cannot be added on at an extra cost via Nibbles. We are working to get this feature back up and running as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can contact Rainwalk directly if you wish to add an additional pet.
-
If your pet is ineligible for the insurance benefit, you can still apply for the credit card and get 3x rewards on pet purchases. Your pet could still qualify for insurance coverage, but that would be at an extra cost where you would cover the full premium. Some pets unfortunately may not qualify at all for our insurance coverage. We are happy to run a quote for your pet at support@nibbles.com.
