Be very careful to check exclusions and preexisting condition policies. A lot of coverage can be excluded under preexisting conditions if the insurance wasn't purchased as a puppy or kitten. I looked into getting insurance for my dog when he was about 6. But he had a history in medical file of stomach issues (he liked to eat a lot of "not food") so all stomach related issues were excluded. Which was mostly what I wanted it for.

I will definitely get insurance for my next puppy.
