What does a Pets Best declarations page look like? 

A declarations (or "dec") page is a key component of an insurance policy that provides the most important information about your personal insurance policy. It includes details like your name, policy number, coverage types, limits, deductibles, premiums, and policy dates. For auto insurance, it also lists your covered vehicles and drivers.

Pet insurance is slightly different than a home or auto policy, and some companies don't provide a standard declaration page since most are reimbursement programs rather than traditional insurance policies. If you've got Pets Best, however, your dec page will likely look similar to this example:

What a typical declarations page includes: 

  1. Policy number: This is your unique policy number, which you’ll need when filing a claim.
  2. Policy term: Lists the effective date and expiration date of your policy.
  3. Policyholder name and address: The address listed must be that of the policyholder. 
  4. Coverages, limits and deductibles: 
  5. Premium: The amount you’ll pay over the policy term. 
    • Pet insurance is often a one-time fee and may not be listed like your auto or home premium.

Zebra tip: Renewal is a great time to shop around

If your pet insurance policy renewal premium was higher than you're happy with, consider comparing pet insurance quotes. Now that you've found your declarations page, you can compare coverage exactly and ensure you are getting quoted for a comparable policy.

How can I compare pet insurance?

Comparing pet insurance is not unlike comparing car or home insurance: decide what factors are most important to you, take the time to research, and make an educated decision! If price is your top priority, make sure you compare apples to apples; if one pet policy only includes accidents and another includes regular wellness visits, but they're the same price, think about which one offers you the most bang for your buck! 

One common misconception about pet insurance is that it only covers accidents. Still, many pet insurance companies allow you to customize which features are most important to you. This may help you keep things within your budget while you plan for your furry friend's comfort.


Not all pet policies have a declarations page

"The company I bought pet insurance from has a handy mobile app where I can quickly access my dog's coverages, my reimbursement rate, and other policy details. I don't have a traditional declarations page, so remember that every pet insurance company may handle this differently. The mobile app quickly shows all the relevant information; it doesn't look like a traditional dec page."

When would I need my declarations page? 

Your pet insurance declarations page is a handy snapshot of your policy, showing key details like coverage, limits, deductibles, and reimbursement rates. You might need it when filing a claim for veterinary care, renewing or updating your policy, or checking if specific treatments or services are covered. It’s also useful as proof of insurance for pet daycare, boarding, or travel requirements. Keeping this document accessible ensures you’re ready to manage your pet’s health needs with confidence!
