Frequently asked questions
Everything else you may want to know about ManyPets claims for Birmans.
Does cat insurance cover dental treatment for Birmans?

Does cat insurance cover travel for Birmans?
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 for Birmans cover liability, loss, or theft?
The ManyPets cat insurance policy is intended to cover accidents and illnesses, but not liability, loss, or theft.

The ManyPets cat insurance policy is designed to reimburse pet parents for accidents and illnesses, not preventative care.

Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Birman 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).
