If your pet develops an illness or gets injured before it is insured, you will need to pick up any bills yourself.\u00a0 This is because many insurers will not cover your pet for conditions they already have when you take out a new plan.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when-should-i-get-my-puppy-pet-insurance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_I_get_my_puppy_pet_insurance\"><\/span>When should I get my puppy pet insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pet insurers will generally begin covering puppies when they reach 8 months old. For younger dogs, you\u2019ll have to pay for any accident and illness treatments out of pocket. Once they reach the eligible age for insurance, you can secure a plan at a low monthly cost.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmoBJ9bjU1w\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-get-pet-insurance-for-my-new-puppy\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_get_pet_insurance_for_my_new_puppy\"><\/span>Should I get pet insurance for my new puppy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Every pet owner should consider pet insurance.
