Maximum benefit pet insurance policies cover each new medical condition up to the policy limit, for as long as the policy remains in place. Once you reach the policy limit for a condition, it will be classed as a pre-existing condition and will be excluded from future claims.

Maximum benefit pet insurance is more comprehensive than time limited or accident only pet insurance. Because of this, premiums are slightly more expensive. The main downside to maximum benefit pet insurance is that once you’ve reached the policy limit for a condition, you can no longer claim for that particular condition again in the future, even if you change insurer or take out a lifetime policy.
