senior dog insurance

Yes! While it’s best to enroll your dog when they’re young, senior dogs are still prime candidates for pet insurance. The ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance programs covers dogs as young as 8 weeks old up through their final years.

Unlike other providers, there are no upper-age restrictions for enrolling in an ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance plan, and we don’t limit or reduce your coverage, so your senior dog can get the care they require in their golden years.

Absolutely. Like us humans, as a dog enters their golden years, they’re at a higher risk of developing a serious illness or having an unexpected accident. They’ll likely require more frequent visits to the vet and costly treatments like prescription medications or alternative therapies. By paying you back for eligible expenses, a Complete Coverage℠ plan lets you focus on your senior dog’s care, not the cost of it, so you can help them live a happier, healthier, longer life.

The cost of getting your dog enrolled in a dog insurance plan depends on a few factors, including their age, breed, plan choice, and zip code. Age plays a part because older dogs often have more health issues than younger ones. This means they might require more frequent and expensive visits to the vet.

However, with an ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance plan, you have the power to customize your plan by choosing your own annual limit, annual deductible, and reimbursement percentage, all of which play into keeping your monthly premium low.
