While these issues are totally treatable, these trips to the vet aren&#8217;t cheap, and these incidents can sometimes rear their ugly heads down the line, which might require follow-up treatments and procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say your rambunctious 3-year-old lab fractures their femur at the dog park, requiring an x-ray, a cast, and pain medication. If they already have a base Lemonade accident &amp; illness policy, not only are they covered for treatments, procedures, and medications today\u2014they will also be covered if, let&#8217;s say, they require surgery on that same leg in a few years when the fracture doesn&#8217;t properly heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here&#8217;s the real kicker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the lab&#8217;s owners waited until <em>after<\/em> he broke his leg to get coverage, any treatments related to the incident (like surgery) would be considered a pre-existing condition, and therefore wouldn&#8217;t be covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No policy will cover costs associated with care for a health issue your pet already has.\u00a0<\/strong>You won\u2019t be denied coverage altogether, you just won\u2019t be able to get reimbursed for treatments related to the pre-existing condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your pet hooked up with coverage ASAP helps to maximize their coverage and your savings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set your new pet up for life with Lemonade pet insurance.
