What is Travel Insurance For Pet Owners?

Pets aren't just animals—they're part of the family. They love us unconditionally, teach us responsibility and selflessness, and offer emotional and social support to reduce stress.

We understand how, as a pet parent, you might struggle with the idea of leaving your pets behind while you travel the world. You might choose to board Fido at the kennel so he can play with other dogs, but maybe it's best to find a cat sitter for Fluffy to shield her from the stress of being away from home. In either case, it's critical they receive the best care while you're away. We also know how important it is to return home to your pets safely, which is why we offer the trip protection benefits and non-insurance assistance services you need to stay protected while traveling the world.

Designed For Pet Owners

There are many choices to make before taking a trip – where you’ll stay, who will watch your cat or dog, and what travel insurance plan to buy. Rest assured several iTravelInsured plans include coverage specific to pet owners, aimed at giving you peace of mind.

What factors should I consider?

  • Trip Cancellation - We consider dogs and cats as part of your family and understand why you may cancel an upcoming planned vacation should something unexpected happen to your four-legged friend. Some travel protection plans offer trip cancellation benefits if your dog, cat, or service animal suffers a sickness, injury, or death.

  • Extended Boarding - iTravelInsured Travel SE and iTravelInsured Travel LX both offer a pet kennel benefit.* On these plans, if an airline delays your trip home by a certain number of hours, you could get reimbursed for any additional kennel fees or expenses caused by the airline delay, up to a specific amount.

  • Trip Interruption - No one wants to think about a pet getting sick or hurt while you're away from home, but if you're forced to end your vacation early to comfort Fido, trip interruption benefits can kick in. A pet's unforeseen illness or injury is a covered reason under this benefit, which can reimburse you for unused, prepaid, non-refundable travel costs plus the additional transportation expenses required to get you home, up to the maximum benefit amount.

  • Pet Insurance - When you're not traveling the world, we understand that you still want your pet to be happy, healthy, and by your side as long as possible. Through IMG's partnership with Fetch, you can purchase pet insurance for your dog or cat to help ensure they live their healthiest and happiest life. (Fetch is separate from the travel protection plan being offered and is not an insurance benefit underwritten by USF.)

Choosing the right travel insurance plan for your pet

The iTravelInsured Travel SE and iTravelInsured Travel LX plans are our most popular and recommended plans for pet owners. These plans include coverage for additional pet kennel fees caused by a travel delay and trip cancellation and interruption benefits if your pet is sick or injured. *Benefits may vary by state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out answers to some of our commonly asked questions.

Do you know if any type of travel insurance coverage is included with your credit card? How about your domestic health care policy? Maybe your homeowner's plan? Medicare?

Travel insurance is designed to provide coverage where none exists, or at least fill in gaps that exist in other types of insurance programs. Review your personal credit card, health, homeowner’s and other insurance programs that you already own to make an informed decision about the purchase of travel insurance.

Check your other insurance carefully to understand what benefits are offered with your credit card and how those benefits are activated. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, tour operators can sometimes have cancellation penalties. A discussion with your travel agent can help you become aware of travel exposures should the unexpected happen.

Protect your financial investment with an iTravelInsured plan.

The perils protected against are listed in your plan document. These perils are similar (but not identical) to the trip cancellation perils except they provide coverage once you depart for your covered trip. The insured can be reimbursed for unused, non-refundable travel arrangements plus additional transportation costs paid to join/re-join your interrupted trip or be transported back to your originally scheduled return destination.

Coverage begins at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the date the appropriate payment for this plan is received. This is your “Effective Date” and begins the trip cancellation benefits. Most other coverages begin when you depart on the first travel arrangement for your trip.

To be eligible for trip cancellation reimbursement, you must cancel your trip due to one of the reasons covered in your plan. Additional terms apply. You may add Cancel for Any Reason coverage to our LX plan. This allows you to cancel for any reason not otherwise covered by your plan and receive a partial refund. Additional cost and terms apply. Not available in NY.**

It is best to check all of your existing coverages or insurance policies before traveling abroad so that you're aware of how you're covered and where you have gaps in your existing coverage.
