How it Works
Our plans give you up to
$5,000 or $10,000
of insurance coverage

…to help treat your pet for all new qualifying accidents and illnesses for up to a year – depending upon when within the policy year the condition occurred.

To continue to keep your monthly premiums affordable, coverage for any condition in a previous year is no longer available. However, each year your coverage renews for the hundreds of new potential mishaps and illnesses that can affect your pet throughout their lifetime.

Get coverage now - before you need it

Most pet owners can budget for those smaller ongoing, and expected treatment costs (like prescriptions, annual check-ups, and vaccinations). PHI Direct is designed to help address the larger financial hits involved in diagnosing and treating unexpected illnesses and accidents.

Now you can get up to $5,000 or $10,000 of annual coverage for the most common pet medical expenses at a truly reasonable price.

How much coverage is enough?

With $5,000 and $10,000 in annual limits, PHI Direct plans provide plenty of coverage to address the veterinary costs required to treat a typical accident or illness.

When the bottom line is still your priority
You may not have pet insurance because the ‘extras’ sent the costs through the roof. PHI Direct is different, because:

Low Premiums

Extra benefits found in other pet insurance policies – such as lost pet rewards, unlimited lifetime benefits, zero deductible and 100% co-insurance – all add to the cost of your premium.

PHI Direct’s unique approach keeps premiums lower, while providing enough of a payout to cover most accidents and illnesses (as long as they’re not a pre-existing condition) you’ll encounter in a given year.

Reasonable deductibles and co-insurance

A one-time, annual deductible of $200, with up to 80% coverage for all of the services included in your policy, are sure to keep you afloat if your furry friend gets sick or in an accident during the year.

Low-cost. High-value.

For more pets across Canada.

Our lower-cost premiums mean more Canadian pets have access to pet health insurance than ever before.

With PHI Direct, your pet is covered for all of the new bumps, tumbles, or illnesses they may experience – just not their pre-existing conditions. Once your pet has a pre-existing condition in a policy year, you’re still covered for everything else not related to that condition, including accidents and new illnesses for that year.
This approach to pet insurance coverage helps keep your premiums low and the value high, allowing us to put more dollars towards paying invoices and claims to the PHI Direct pack.

Self-serve purchasing with full-blown support

Since you are buying it from us direct, this helps keep the cost of your coverage low but the value high.

You’ll have the full-blown support of the PHI Direct team via phone, chat and email.
