What’s not covered by PD Insurance?

Similar to other pet insurers, PD Insurance does not cover animals for pre-existing conditions or for treatment of conditions caused by negligent owner behaviour.

What makes PD Insurance different?

One of the standout differences is that PD Insurance provides legal liability cover. That means if your pet causes damage to someone else’s property, or injured another person or pet, you could be covered.
