Nose-to-tail coverage for Maine's dogs & cats

Ah Maine, land of lobstermen, Stephen King novels, and fierce New England winters. Pet ownership is quite common as well: 64% of Maine households contain at least one furry family member. True to our name, ManyPets insures many pets in the Pine Tree State.

But veterinary care is surprisingly expensive in Maine. The average ManyPets claim in the state is for $467—significantly more expensive than the national average, which is $399. Only six states have higher averages. By comparison, Montana boasts our lowest average at $238 per claim. And these are just averages.

Costs can soar with emergency care, specialist treatments, and surgeries. Treating cancer can cost more than $10,000.

Pet insurance can be a lifesaver—literally. If your pet needs expensive treatment for an accident or illness, insurance may be the only tool that allows you to afford vet care.

ManyPets is here to help in Maine and all around the country. Our insurance plan covers both accidents and illnesses, with no annual or lifetime payout limits.

We even offer an optional Wellness Plan that can reimburse you for routine and preventative care.

Why get pet insurance in Maine?

From rugged coastlines to dense forests, Maine’s pets have plenty to explore. Just watch out for these dangers along the way:

Cold-weather calamities

Maine's frigid winter weather can cause serious conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. Dress your furry Mainer in warm clothes and limit their time in low temps.

Tick-borne diseases

Four-legged Mainers are blessed with countless fields, forests, and hiking trails. But open-air adventures expose them to tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. Use regular preventive treatments and always check for ticks.

Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection commonly contracted in Maine's lakes and ponds. If untreated, it can lead to kidney and liver damage in pets.

Is pet insurance worth it in Maine?

Without insurance, veterinary care can drain your savings or be unaffordable, especially for acute conditions needing surgery or costly treatments. For example, hip surgeries can cost up to $4,000, knee surgeries up to $5,000, and cancer treatments over $10,000.

Vet costs are rising due to advances in veterinary health care and specialty treatments, leading to better care but higher expenses. Without pet insurance, you may be unable to afford treatments if your pet becomes sick or injured.

Pet insurance can quickly reimburse approved claims, putting money back in your bank account.

And in some critical situations, it may be the only thing that lets you opt for life-saving treatment instead of euthanasia.

Unfortunately, unexpected veterinary costs do pop up, and the last thing you want to worry about is money when your focus should be on helping your pet feel better.

Good pet insurance policies will pay for most treatment options that your veterinarian might recommend. Some insurance companies even offer wellness plans to reimburse you for preventive care! The peace of mind that pet insurance provides is truly priceless.

What’s not covered?

Far too often, pet parents must dip into their savings to treat their four-legged friends. Our mission is to prevent that.

However, there are instances when claims won’t qualify for coverage. We want our customers to be fully informed, and we don’t believe in burying important information in the fine print.

Like other pet insurers, ManyPets doesn't cover pre-existing conditions (more on that below). Our insurance policy also won't reimburse for preventative care, though our Wellness Plan will.

How does ManyPets define pre-existing conditions?

ManyPets defines a pre-existing condition as:

Any condition for which your pet received medical advice, treatment, or showed symptoms in the 18 months before the policy start date or during the waiting period.

While pet insurance companies usually exclude pre-existing conditions, ManyPets will no longer consider a condition pre-existing if your pet has been symptom-free, undiagnosed, and untreated for 18 months (except for hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament conditions, and, in some states, invertebral disc disease).

Which breeds are popular in Maine?

According to World Population Review, 61.3% of Maine is rural—more than any other state. Even cities like Portland, Lewiston, and Bangor are full of parks and trails, making it perfect for active pets. But Maine’s freezing winters, with temps often below 30 or even 20°F, lead some to choose thicker-coated or lower-energy breeds. Here are some of Maine’s most popular pups:
