If you need to contact someone from our team, please email manyclaim@manypets.com.
Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Norwegian Forest Cat?
Like other pet insurance companies, ManyPets won’t cover pre-existing conditions for any type of pet. However, we may treat past conditions that have been free of symptoms and treatment for 18 months (except for cruciate ligament injuries or hip dysplasia).
Does cat insurance for Norwegian Forest Cats cover routine care?
The ManyPets cat insurance policy is designed to reimburse pet parents for accidents and illnesses, not preventative care. However, the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan can indeed reimburse you for preventative care, including checkups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, routine dental care, supplements, and more*.
Does cat insurance for Norwegian Forest Cats cover liability, loss, or theft?
The ManyPets cat insurance policy is intended to cover accidents and illnesses, but not liability, loss, or theft.
Does cat insurance cover travel for Norwegian Forest Cats?
All ManyPets policies cover cats who are traveling in any US state, Washington D.C., or Canada for up to 90 days. After 90 days, you’ll need to update your pet’s address.
Does cat insurance cover dental treatment for Norwegian Forest Cats?
Your cat insurance policy may cover dental accidents and, unlike some pet insurance companies, dental illnesses. Insurance doesn’t cover preventative cleanings or over-the-counter dental products — but the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan does help reimburse you for these types of preventative care.
*ManyPets analyzes every claim on its own merits, subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy or Wellness plan. Insurance exclusions apply, including those for pre-existing conditions (only claims unrelated to an excluded treatment or condition are eligible for coverage). Wellness Plan reimbursement is available only for eligible preventative care treatments.
