What's not covered?

Understanding what is not eligible for coverage is as important as knowing what is covered. Like most pet insurance policies, PHI Direct does not cover pre-existing conditions. With 'Time-Limited Coverage', any condition experienced in one policy year will be considered pre-existing in future policy years, including any associated or bilateral conditions. Check out some examples of how our 'Time Limited Coverage' works.

Learn about our plans
PHI Direct is helping to protect more Canadian pets than ever before.
Because our costs aren't inflated, we can bring the protection of pet insurance to many more cats and dogs.
97% of Canadian cats and dogs do not have the protection of a pet insurance policy. This leaves many pets open to financial uncertainty. In the worst scenarios, it can mean that treatment is not affordable - right at the moment when it's needed most. Pet insurance can be a powerful tool for pets, pet owners and veterinarians, who all want the best thing for the pet. Even if you don't buy a PHI Direct policy, please know that we are very strong advocates for pet insurance, broadly. Even if it's through one of our competitors.
