30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Enrollment with PetPremium comes with the reassurance of a 30-day full refund guarantee. As long as customers don't receive any reimbursements for claims in the first 30 days of their policy, they can cancel it for a full refund in that period.

Waiting Period

The waiting period for illness coverage is somewhat average (30 days), but the good news here is that there is only a one-day waiting period for accident and wellness coverage. Any costs associated with the treatment, diagnosis, or surgery for ligament or knee conditions that occur during the first 12-month policy period are not covered.

The Bad

  • Premium Increase with Pet’s Age
  • Reimbursement Turnaround Time

Premium Increase with Pet’s Age

While PetPremium will never cancel coverage on a pet, the premium will adjust as the pet gets older. An older pet’s premium is going to be higher as they are more at risk for certain illnesses and conditions. 

Reimbursement Turnaround Time

PetPremium’s reimbursement turnaround time is relatively average for the pet insurance industry. The company typically averages to reimburse members in two weeks or less.  PetPremium’s policy is to reimburse pet owners within at least 30 days from receipt of all required information.

The Bottom Line

PetPremium’s two coverage plans seem to cover most things a pet owner would want, plus the fact that you can add on the wellness plan means customers can get the comprehensive coverage and peace of mind knowing that their pet is covered against accidents, illnesses, and all the routine care vet bills. The one-day accident and wellness waiting period is another nice component coupled along with the 30-day money-back guarantee, is a solid choice for pet owners.

However, owners with older pets might want to avoid this company as their pet’s premiums increase with age. Also, the reimbursement time is not as fast as others in the pet insurance industry.
