UPS pet insurance is administered by DVM Insurance Agency and offers U.S. owners accident and illness protection with an optional preventive care tier, presented across three main plans to suit different needs.

The three plans are Major Medical (accident & illness), Major Medical with Wellness (adds preventive care such as vaccinations, dental cleaning, parasite treatment and neutering), and Whole Pet (accident & illness); covered services include emergency care, consultations, surgery, imaging, lab tests and specialist consultations, alternative medicine when veterinarian-prescribed, and a 12-month exclusion for cruciate ligament diagnoses, while sample monthly premiums range from roughly $24.59 for young cats to about $146.70 for older dogs, and reimbursement percentages, annual limits, deductibles and wellness budgets are plan-dependent; compared with major competitors, UPS positions itself as a mid-market option with a clear wellness add-on and competitive entry pricing for young pets, while premiums rise for older or higher-risk breeds.

Best suited for owners of young to middle-aged dogs and cats who want core accident-and-illness coverage with an optional preventive-care package and breed/age-based pricing.

Administered by DVM Insurance Agency (1800 E. Imperial Highway, Suite 145, Brea, CA; phone 1-800-540-2016 or 1-714-989-0555), UPS carries a provider average rating of 3.3 across offers and provides direct contact points for policy inquiries.

UPS Guarantees

UPS offers three distinct pet insurance plans that cover accidents and illnesses, with one tier that includes preventive care. The three plans are presented as: Major Medical (accident & illness core cover), Major Medical with Wellness (adds preventive and hygiene services), and Whole Pet (an alternative tier focused on accident & illness). Pricing samples provided for a range of dog and cat profiles show material variation by age and breed, reflecting age-related premium increases and plan-based differences in coverage scope.

Key clinical cover features across the plans include emergency care, consultations, surgery, imaging and laboratory tests, and specialist consultations. Alternative medicine is eligible when prescribed for a covered condition. The Major Medical with Wellness plan explicitly includes preventive elements such as dental cleaning, vaccinations, parasite treatment and certain routine procedures, while the Major Medical plan excludes dental cleaning and routine preventive items; the Whole Pet tier follows an accident-and-illness positioning with selective preventive features in its product framing.

Reimbursement mechanics, deductibles and annual reimbursement limits are applied at the policy level and vary by plan and profile, as reflected in the differential premium levels by age and breed. Waiting-period rules include a specific 12-month provision related to cruciate ligament and meniscal damage; other waiting-period specifics and lifetime coverage features are defined per plan and underwriting rules. Main strengths of the product suite are the breadth of clinical coverage (including specialist care and diagnostics) and the availability of an integrated wellness option; principal weaknesses include limited coverage of non-medical fees and boarding costs, and exclusions applying to pre-existing and certain elective or non-standard treatments.

Comparison of different pet insurance plans.

The policies exclude pre-existing conditions and apply specific waiting-period exclusions, notably a 12‑month provision for cruciate ligament and meniscal damage. Intentional acts and treatments not performed by licensed veterinarians are excluded, and behavioral training outside of veterinary clinical treatment is not covered. Experimental, investigational or illegal treatments are excluded, as are costs related to breeding, pregnancy and elective cosmetic procedures.

Preventive and wellness services are available only under the wellness-tier plan, while routine non-medical fees such as boarding, transportation, grooming and administrative charges are not covered under the standard medical tiers. Policyholders should note the presence of age- and profile-driven premium differences and that coverage limits, reimbursement rates and deductible arrangements are determined at the plan and underwriting level.

UPS Exclusions

The policy excludes standard medical exceptions such as pre-existing conditions and specific waiting-period exclusions, with a clear 12‑month exclusion applying to cruciate ligament and meniscal damage.

Behavioral treatments performed outside a licensed veterinary setting and non-prescribed dietary items are excluded, while prescribed therapeutic pet food remains permissible under medical coverage.

Non-medical fees—including boarding, transport, grooming, administrative charges and non-medical supplies—are not covered, and experimental, investigational or illegal treatments (including substances illegal under federal law) are explicitly excluded.

Breeding- and pregnancy-related costs, elective cosmetic procedures, intentional acts by the owner, and conditions resulting from major events such as war or nuclear release are also excluded.

UPS Prices

UPS’s price positioning sits between entry-level and mid-range tiers, with a clear gradation across its three formulas that lets owners trade monthly cost for added services. Younger, common-breed animals show relatively competitive premiums, while older animals see marked increases that reflect age-related risk pricing; the availability of a dedicated wellness tier and a “Whole Pet” alternative tier helps the insurer span both cost-sensitive and more comprehensive segments.

Loading...

Reimbursement rates, deductible structures and annual limits drive competitiveness by determining out-of-pocket exposure for claim events, and these elements vary by plan and animal profile. Key differentiators in UPS’s offering include a wellness-enhanced formula and acceptance of alternative medicine when prescribed for covered conditions, which can justify higher premiums versus more basic accident-and-illness products offered by traditional players.

The reimbursement amount with UPS

✅ Example 1: Emergency surgery for foreign body removal Total vet costs: $2,500 (surgery, anesthesia, hospitalization, medications) Deductible amount to subtract: $100 (annual deductible) Amount reimbursable after deductible with the Premium plan: $2,500 – $100 = $2,400 85% of that amount reimbursed: $2,400 × 85% = $2,040
👉 You receive a reimbursement of $2,040.

ℹ️ The annual deductible applies once per policy year; the reimbursement percentage is applied to the remaining eligible amount after the deductible.

✅ Example 2: Specialist consultation and diagnostic imaging for chronic ear issue Total vet costs: $450 (specialist consult, otoscopy, cytology, medications) Deductible amount to subtract: $0 (deductible already met earlier in the year) Amount reimbursable at 85% with the Premium plan: $450 × 85% = $382.50
👉 You receive a reimbursement of $382.50.

ℹ️ This reimbursement is taken from your annual coverage limit and reduces the remaining available benefit for the policy year.

✅ Example 3: Annual preventive care (vaccinations, parasite treatment, dental cleaning) Total vet costs: $220 (wellness exam, vaccines, parasite meds, dental cleaning) Deductible amount to subtract: $0 (deductible already covered earlier in the year) Amount reimbursable at 85% with the Premium plan: $220 × 85% = $187.00
👉 You receive a reimbursement of $187.00.

ℹ️ Some wellness items may be subject to specific sub-limits or frequency limits under the wellness component of the plan.

Customer Reviews on UPS

Customers commonly praise UPS for covering emergency treatment and providing access to specialist consultations, with imaging and laboratory diagnostics repeatedly cited as meaningful benefits; owners who choose the wellness tier also value the inclusion of preventive care items that reduce routine out-of-pocket spend. At the same time, reviewers often raise concerns about opaque reimbursement mechanics and annual coverage limits, the effect of waiting periods—notably the 12-month exclusion for cruciate ligament issues—and exclusions for pre-existing conditions and non-medical costs such as boarding; increasing premiums for older pets are another frequent point of dissatisfaction.

The Major Medical with Wellness plan includes preventive services such as vaccinations, dental cleaning, parasite treatment and neutering under its wellness component.
Standard exclusions include pre‑existing conditions, experimental treatments, breeding and cosmetic procedures, and non‑medical fees.
Frequency limits or sub‑limits may apply to wellness items, so verify allowed services and intervals in your contract.
Alternative medicine can be covered when prescribed for a covered condition, but cosmetic or elective procedures are not.
