Happy Tails™ have an annual aggregate limit for claims. The annual aggregate limit for the top plan is $12,500 with separate sub-limits for each benefit. The annual surgical limit is $10,000 and the limit for chemotherapy is $2,500 for the top plan. More details can be found under our plan types.

Hereditary and congenital conditions may not appear for years, but when they do, the treatment can be expensive. Eye disorders like glaucoma or knee issues requiring surgery like a patellar luxation are examples of these conditions.

HappyTails™ covers the following specified hereditary and congenital conditions for pets enrolled before the age of six (6) subject to a twelve-month (12) waiting period from the policy’s first commencement date for these conditions:

1. Hip and elbow dysplasia
2. Luxating Patella
3. Glaucoma
4. Cherry eye
5. Invertebral Disk Disease (IVDD)
6. Femoral Head and Neck Excision

If a hereditary or congenital condition or its symptoms are noted by your veterinarian before your pet’s enrolment, these are considered pre-existing and will not be covered by your Happy Tails™ policy (just like any other illness or injury that occurred before your pet is insured by us).

As part of our effort to provide you with the best pet health insurance we include coverage for hip dysplasia if you enrol your pet before the age of six (6). There is a twelve-month (12) waiting period before cover for such conditions takes effect.

If signs or symptoms of hip dysplasia are noted by your veterinarian before your pet’s enrolment or during the twelve-month (12) waiting period, the hip dysplasia will be considered a pre-existing condition and will not be covered by the Happy Tails™ policy.

Happy Tails™ does not cover:

• pre-existing conditions
• the clinical examination for insurance enrolment
• spay/neuter procedures
• non-surgical treatment or preventative care

For full details of the terms, conditions and exclusions, please refer to the Happy Tails insurance policy.

We do not cover preventative care as it is the responsibility of the Pet Parent to take care of your pet’s general well-being and preventative healthcare needs.

Following are some examples of preventative care that are not covered:

• Preventive healthcare including vaccinations or titer test, flea control, heartworm medication, de-worming, nail trim, spaying/neutering and grooming.
• Parasite control including but not limited to internal and external parasites for which readily available prophylactic treatments are available.
• Dental healthcare including dental cleanings (prophylaxis)
• Anal gland expression.
• Feeding, housing, and exercise.
• Behavioural modification, medications for behavioural modification, training, or therapy.

The above list is not exhaustive. Please refer to the Happy Tails policy wording for the full details of expenses, fees, charges that are not covered.

The period from the first commencement date of the policy during which claims are not payable. There are 2 waiting periods to take note of:

1. 90 days for illness
2. 12 months for specified hereditary and congenital conditions

The application of the Deductible is based on each claim incident. An incident is one that occurs within 90 days from the covered surgery.

Happy Tails™ is an annual renewable policy. Before the expiry of each policy term. Pet Parents are invited to continue or renew the insurance. Most insured pets under Happy Tails™ are covered for life. In certain instances where the claim experience for a pet is consistently poor, the insurer may review the coverage terms, conditions and premium or exclude cover for a particular condition. This is to maintain equity in the premium pool and sustenance of the product in the long term where higher risks pets contribute a higher share of premium to reflect their claim experience.

The clinical examination report for enrollment is a pre-requisite to enrol for Happy Tails™ insurance. Pets to be insured must be checked for their general health and any pre-existing conditions within 30 days from the start date of the insurance. Any developing or existing condition detected during the enrolment examination is considered as pre-existing and will not be covered.

If your pet has a congenital condition before you enrol for Happy Tails™, this condition will be considered pre-existing and there is no cover for the condition.

There are many types of congenital conditions that do not become apparent until sometime after birth. Happy Tails™ covers specified congenital conditions as long as there are no clinical signs or symptoms present before enrolment or during the waiting periods after the insurance is in force for pets enrolled before the age of six (6).

There is no cover for bilateral condition e.g. injury on the right front leg and same condition surfaces in the front left leg. The same applies to eyes, ears and knees cruciate ligaments.

It is a mandatory requirement that the pet undergoes a clinical examination by a vet within 30 days from the commencement date of the insurance to be eligible for cover.

Please keep the medical report in a safe place as the document must be submitted to the insurer when you file a claim for the first time.

At Happy Tails™, we advocate pet adoption.

Most adopted pets will have been pre-screened by vets. You may use the rescue group's or shelter's adoption check-up if you have documentation of the examination including the vet’s notes. If you are unsure if the adoption check-up satisfies as our enrolment requirement, you may email us a copy of the records to review. We will notify you if another examination is required.

You can book a House Call with ZumVet, who will send their vet to your home for a completely convenient and stress-free experience.

1. Visit any licensed veterinarian of your choice. This includes specialists and emergency animal hospitals.
2. Complete Happy Tails Claim Form and have the treating vet complete the “Medical” section of the form.
3. Mail the completed and signed claim form to MSIG.

• Pet's clinical examination report for insurance enrolment if you are making a claim for the first time
• Records of all required vaccination

Reimbursements are based on your actual veterinary bill charges. This is how the covered expenses will be computed:

1. The total eligible items are determined according to the Plan limit.
2. The Co-insurance rate will be applied on this amount to derive the claimable amount
3. Against the sum obtained in (2) above, the Deductible of $250 will be applied to arrive at the final payable amount.

Please refer to the illustration below:
Covered expenses	$1,200
Your Co-insurance rate - say, 20%	$240
Net after Co-insurance	$960
Deductible	$250
Final payable amount	$710

We want to keep this as simple and easy for you as possible so we have fixed the deductible and reimbursement level for all plan types.
