Frequently asked questions
Everything else you may want to know about ManyPets claims for Schnauzers.
Does dog insurance cover dental treatment for Schnauzers?
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 cover travel for Schnauzers?
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 for Schnauzers 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 for Schnauzers 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*.
Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Schnauzer?
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).
