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

Texas is the second-largest state in the US by population, and a lot of pets live there! In fact, 58% of Lone Star State households contain at least one furry family member. True to our name, ManyPets insures many pets in Texas.

But vet care in California is costly. The average ManyPets insurance claim in the state is $578, the highest in the country (compared to the national average of $399 and Montana's low of $238). 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 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 Texas?

From sizzling streets to mosquito-filled meadows, The Lone Star State’s four-legged adventurers should wrangle with care. Here’s what to watch out for:

Heatstroke

When the Texas sun is scorching and panting just doesn’t cut it, pets can face real trouble. Offer your furry friends plenty of shade and fresh water on hot days, and walk them during cooler hours.

Fleas & heartworms

Unfortunately for furry Texans, fleas and heartworms thrive in hot, humid climes. To protect your pets, give them monthly preventive treatments and keep their living areas clean.

Chagas disease

In rural Texas, the kissing bug's kiss transmits the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite to pets, causing Chagas disease. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, and even heart problems. Always keep your pets’ sleeping areas bug-free and use pet-safe insecticides.

Is pet insurance worth it in Texas?

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).
