Texas FAQ
Are there Texas-specific requirements for pet insurance?

How do I find carriers licensed to write pet insurance in Texas?

Does pet insurance cover pre-existing conditions?
No — virtually all pet insurance policies exclude conditions your pet had before the policy started or during the plan's waiting period. This is a near-universal exclusion across the industry, not specific to one carrier.
Is wellness care included in pet insurance?
Base accident-and-illness plans generally don't include routine or preventive care (checkups, vaccines) — that's usually offered as an optional add-on wellness rider at extra cost.
