Getting to know Saint Bernards
Saint Bernards are famous for their massive size and gentle disposition. They were originally bred in the late 1600s for rescue work–namely at the Great St. Bernard Hospice in the Swiss Alps, where they helped locate and save travelers lost in the snowy and treacherous mountain pass. Despite their imposing stature, they're loving and loyal companions who make excellent family pets.

Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Saint Bernard?
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 dog insurance for Saint Bernards cover liability, loss, or theft?
The ManyPets insurance policy is intended to cover accidents and illnesses, but not liability, loss, or theft.
Does dog insurance cover travel for Saint Bernards?
All ManyPets policies cover dogs 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 dog insurance cover dental treatment for Saint Bernards?
Your dog 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.
Does dog insurance for Saint Bernards cover routine care?
The ManyPets dog 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*.
*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.
