Accident insurance for dogs who think gravity is optional.
Accident insurance provides cover when your dog does something dumb. Just $40 per month. Just in case.
Accidents cost more than you think.
When your dog takes a tumble or swallows that bone, the vet bills can leave you reeling. But not with Ruff ‘n’ Tumble. Accident-only insurance means for just $40 per month and a $500 excess, your dog can be on the road to recovery faster than they can fall down the stairs. Again.
Start or stop anytime. Waiting periods reapply.
Accidents don’t discriminate
and neither do we.
What counts as an accident?
One sudden, unexpected and unintended event that causes physical injury or harm to your pet.
For $40 per month, we cover the dumb things dogs do and the smart things they need afterwards. For only $500 excess per accident, we’re with your dog all the way from the scene of the crime to the recovery room.
If they’ve already got it,
we don’t cover it.
We insure dumbness, not illness. What we don’t cover :
Cover the dumb things dogs do
Get your dog covered
in under 3 minutes
