Depending on the insurer, one can get this coverage for pets between two months and 10 years of age.

By paying a regular premium, the pet can be covered for a range of benefits, including medical care, death due to accidents, third-party damage, and theft.

Surgeries done for pregnancy or whelping, grooming, and cosmetic surgeries are not covered.

Companies like New India Assurance, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, and Go Digit General Insurance provide such pet covers.
