Pre-Existing Conditions, as defined under the Definitions section below, are not covered. Other exclusions may apply. Please refer to the exclusions section of the policy (What Is Not Covered) for more information.
Right to Examine and Return
You have thirty (30) days from the day you receive the policy, certificate or rider to review it and return it to the company if you decide not to keep it. You do not have to tell the Company why you are returning it. If you decide not to keep it, simply return it to the company at its administrative office or you may return it to the insurance producer that you bought it from as long as you have not filed a claim. You must return it within 30 days of the day you first received it. The company will refund the full amount of any premium paid within 30 days after it receives the returned policy, certificate or rider. The premium refund will be sent directly to the person who paid it. The policy, certificate or rider will be void as if it had never been issued.
The fastest and easiest way to return your policy is by notifying us in writing through the channel outlined below:

Please refer to the Declaration Page for your Pet’s specific waiting period.
Changes to Your Premium

The Company provides coverage to you for the Pet described in the policy and on the policy declaration page for the Actual Cost of Veterinary Treatment for any eligible condition, subject to the terms of the Policy, after the application of the Co-Insurance, minus the Deductible, up to the Annual Limit of the policy.
The formula for determining claims reimbursement is as follows: eligible expenses multiplied by the reimbursement percentage minus the deductible equals the claim payout.
