Allstate pet insurance plans cover accidents and illnesses, including any surgeries, hospitalizations, or nursing care required. They also cover medications and alternative therapies. Genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia are covered, but only if your pet was not showing signs of the condition at the time you purchased your policy.
Preventative treatment, including vaccinations, annual check-ups, and dental cleanings, are not covered unless you purchase an optional wellness plan.
The cost of your insurance plan will vary based on your pet’s breed, age, gender, and medical history. We received a quote for a 3-year old labrador retriever in Texas in April 2021. A plan with a $10,000 coverage limit, $500 deductible, and 80% reimbursement rate cost $44.45 per month. The optional wellness plan cost an additional $18.75 per month for up to $250 per year in coverage. Quotes are subject to change and will vary by location.
Allstate policies do not cover vet fees related to pregnancy or breeding, orthodontic procedures, or treatments for behavioral problems. They also do not cover vitamins, supplements, or prescription food. Pre-existing conditions are excluded from coverage, including genetic conditions for which your pet was showing symptoms at the time of enrollment.
Your policy includes a waiting period of 2 days for accidents, 14 days for illnesses, and 6 months for orthopedic conditions.
You can choose an annual coverage limit of $5,000, $8,000, $10,000, $15,000, or $30,000.
Allstate enables you to choose an annual deductible of $200, $300, $500, $750, or $1,000. You can also choose a reimbursement rate of 70%, 80%, or 90%.
