Don't worry - you can still switch if your pet has a pre-existing condition

If your pet’s been ill in the past and you then switch insurers, the new insurer will usually consider it a pre-existing condition. This generally means it won’t be covered. But that doesn’t mean you can’t switch.

At ManyPets, we do things a bit differently. If your pet’s condition ended two or more years ago before your policy starts, we’ll cover it as a new condition if it crops up again. We've also designed a dedicated Standard Care Pre-Existing plan, which covers your pet's condition if it hasn't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months before your policy starts.

Always check the policy handbook and IPID before you purchase.


Our pre-existing condition cover options

OPTION ONE

Choose our Pre-existing cover for a benefit of up to £1,500 as part of a £7,000 vet fee limit to cover conditions that haven't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months before your policy starts. Terms apply.

OPTION TWO

Pick one of our standard pet insurance plans for conditions that haven't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for more than two years before your policy starts. You'll get up to the vet fee limit you've chosen. Terms apply.

A few things to note if your pet has a pre-existing condition

Our dedicated Pre-existing policy has limitsMake sure you're not in the middle of a claim
Our dedicated Pre-existing policy is limited to £1,500 of cover for pre-existing conditions as part of your overall vet fee limit. You may have more cover than this in your existing plan.You may not get cover from us if you're currently in the middle of a claim with another insurer. We only cover conditions without signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months on our dedicated pre-existing plan or 2 years on our standard cover.

Switching pet insurance questions, answered

Everything else you may want to know about switching pet insurance to ManyPets.

Can I switch pet insurance providers mid-policy?

Yes, you can. But typically you’ll need to pay a fee for this, and sometimes you’ll need to pay any remaining premiums too. 

It’s worth speaking to your existing insurer when you cancel.

What should I consider before switching pet insurance?

Generally, make sure the pet insurance you and your pet are switching to is right for you. We don’t want to see you end up with something that doesn’t work for your circumstances.

We’d recommend looking out for things like: 

  • What’s covered 

  • Cost of pet insurance

  • Benefits and features, like 24/7 vet advice 

  • Waiting period, which is how long your pet won’t be covered between policies 

  • Exclusions, like behavioural treatment 

  • Additional fees

How do I cancel my old pet insurance when I switch?

A lot of this depends on your current insurer. Most will need the policyholder to contact them.

Most are through the phone, but others, like us, will allow you to cancel online. Others will let you cancel over email. 

You must let your current insurer know.

Do I have to stay with the same pet insurance provider?

No. You can cancel at any time.

Do I have to cancel my existing pet insurance before switching?

Yes, you must contact your current insurer to cancel after you get a quote.

Will the pet insurance start immediately?

It depends. Usually, there's a 14-day waiting period between the time you switch from an old insurer to us.

But you won't have a waiting period if you've been with another insurer for 12 consecutive months (excluding bilateral conditions and pregnancy).
