Nose-to-tail coverage for New York's dogs & cats
Pets New York—and New Yorkers
them back. According to the World Population Review, half of all households in New York State have at least one furry family member!
True to our name, ManyPets insures many pets in the Empire State. But like lots of things in New York, veterinary care is quite pricey. Our average insurance claim in New York is $489—the fourth-highest average of any state and significantly higher than the national average of $399. By comparison, Montana boasts our lowest state average at $238 per claim.
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 California 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 New York?
Whether navigating city streets or upstate trails, furry New Yorkers face unique health risks. Here's what you should watch out for:
:quality(75)){kind=icon}
Waterborne illnesses
New York's lakes, streams, and beaches have refreshed many furry friends. But such soggy pastimes can expose them to serious waterborne illnesses like leptospirosis and Giardia. Remember: Stagnant or murky water isn’t for swimming or drinking.
Tick-borne diseases
Furry New Yorkers 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 check for ticks after outdoor activities.
Blastomycosis
Be wary of the soil-dwelling Blastomyces dermatitidis fungus, which lurks in New York’s Hudson Valley and Adirondacks. It causes blastomycosis in furry locals, with symptoms like coughing, fever, and weight loss. Avoid damp soil digs and stick to leashed walks.Find the pawfect plan

Is pet insurance worth it in New York?
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).
