AWARD WINNING PET INSURANCE

Your furry friends deserve exceptional care when it comes to their health and wellbeing. We're proud to have been awarded the Mozo Experts Choice Award for Exceptional Quality Pet Insurance for 2021 and 2022. Helping your pet get the care they need, when they need. That's Uncommon Care.

CLAIM AT THE VET
AND PAY THE GAPONLY®#

When your pet is unwell or injured, get quick and easy access to the treatment your pet needs with HCF’s Pet Insurance, with less out-of-pocket costs for eligible claims.

With GapOnly® you’ll only pay the gap (the difference between the vet’s invoice and the claim benefit under your policy). You can request pre-approval to confirm your cover or claim on-the-spot at participating vets, so you can worry less about the upfront cost of vet bills and focus on your furry family members' health and wellbeing.#
