Does pet insurance cover medication?

[BettyRowe]

Hello everyone,
I am keeping an aquarium in my room. I love them so much that I insured them. Currently I am wondering if when my fish is sick will insurance include medicine to treat it?
Thanks very much.

Only if they’ve all gotten their COVID shots!

Actually they will depending on the company and policy, but you have to tell them to include what animals to be covered. I have dogs so I’m familiar with it. ..but the problem is most fish meds aren’t that expensive and not worth making the claim based on your deductible....unlike dogs which can be.

Hey, so did you find out if the insurance company covers it? Because I know that usually, it should cover the medicine, but sometimes it depends on the plan. Most pet insurance plans have extensive coverage, while some only cover specific things. If you're not sure, better to ask your insurance company or reread the contract to see if this is stipulated. Also, many people read about this on various websites, like https://www.petinsurancereview.com/, cause there're reviews about any company, and you can find yours.

get "life insurance " for fish better than medical. LOL

Pet insurance is extremely "iffy" when it comes to aquariums.
