Importance of Alaska Pet Insurance

One in three pets will unexpectedly get sick or injured this year in Alaska and nationwide. From Juneau to Ketchikan and across the Last Frontier, the cost of caring for a sick pet is rising.

All pet owners can benefit from having insurance in case something goes wrong. Pets in Alaska face specific health dangers that make insurance even more valuable.

Learn more about how you can protect your beloved pets. Pet health insurance can cover unexpected accidents, illnesses, cancer, emergencies, and genetic conditions, as long as they are not pre-existing conditions.

Pre-existing Conditions: What Are They?

A pre-existing condition is a health issue that started or showed signs before you got insurance, including any waiting periods. Pet insurance companies do not cover these conditions.

Health Risks for Alaska Pets

1. Snakebites
   Alaska has various venomous snakes, but the good news is that pet insurance includes coverage for snakebites. Always watch out for snakes outside, and keep your pets on a leash to stop them from exploring in the bushes. If your pet gets bitten, seek emergency treatment immediately.

2. Parvovirus
   Also known as "parvo," this highly contagious virus affects the stomach and is prevalent in Alaska. Though the virus differs for dogs and cats, both can contract it. Vaccinating your pets can prevent this virus.

3. Coyotes
   Whether you are in a city or the suburbs in Alaska, coyotes can be dangerous for your pet. Cats and smaller dogs are particularly vulnerable outside, but even larger dogs can encounter them. Don't leave pets alone or tied up, and always keep pet food indoors.

Alaska Pet Insurance for All Ages

Whether your furry friend ends up in an emergency room due to mischief or develops a surprising illness as they age, medical care can be expensive at any stage of life.

Pets Up to Five

Young pets can get sick despite their energy because they tend to eat things they shouldn't. Investing in pet health insurance early ensures coverage before health problems arise, making them less likely to be excluded.

Pets Six and Older

As pets age, they might face health issues, and treatments can be pricey without insurance. With Healthy Paws, you can save a lot on vet bills. Pets aged between 8 weeks and 14 years can sign up. Once they're in, they're covered for their entire policy lifetime.

Understanding Alaska Pet Insurance

With Alaska Pet Insurance, you can take your pet to any licensed vet, specialist, or emergency hospital. After signing up, you'll have a 15-day waiting period for accidents and illnesses and 12 months for hip dysplasia.

Claims are fast and straightforward—no more hassle with forms. Just take a picture and send your vet bill to us. Processing claims usually takes about two business days, and a reimbursement check will be sent to the pet owner. For the first claim, the pet's medical records are required. Sometimes, we work with your vet to pre-approve expensive treatments to reduce your upfront costs.

Safeguard your beloved pet by exploring our comprehensive health insurance coverage. Ensure your special friend is protected from all the dangers Alaska might bring.
