Our Policy
- All animals must undergo a health assessment within 1 to 60 days following registration
and payment, prior to receiving an approval letter. The availability of appointments is
subject to partner clinic schedules, and delays of 1 to 60 days may occur during busy
periods. If the animal is approved, the examination fee will be covered. However, if
approval is denied for any reason, the clinic fees will be the client’s responsibility.
- Appointments for vaccinations and dental care are organized by the company, based on
the availability of schedules and clinics.
- The necessity of dental cleaning is determined solely at the doctor’s discretion.
- Clients are responsible for scheduling medical examinations with their preferred clinic
based on appointment availability, as the company does not facilitate this process but
we can help you in pointing which partner provides specific services you are interested
in.
- Rescue cases are coordinated by the company following the registration of the package.
- After purchasing the package, the company arranges an appointment for the client at a
specified clinic for a medical examination and review of the case’s medical history.
Acceptance is confirmed if the animal is deemed apparently healthy.
- Clients must prepare a medical record for the case, detailing all clinics visited within the
past year. This record must be uploaded to the platform during data registration and
purchase, ensuring the report is no older than three months.
- The annual allocation of medical consultations ranges between 5 to 10, contingent upon
the selected package or plan. Each consultation is accompanied by a predetermined
number of follow-ups, according to the evaluation conducted by the specialist
veterinarian. A consultation, along with its associated follow-ups, is collectively
categorized as a single instance. It is expected that each consultation addresses a distinct
medical concern unless the issue is recurrent or bears similarity to a prior one. In such
scenarios, the consultation and its subsequent follow-ups are classified as a distinct
instance at intervals of every 30 days.
- Grooming services are organized by the company.
- Food delivery is carried out according to the schedule established by the company. Both
pick-up and drop-off services are conducted according to a prearranged schedule.
- For bookings made through our company, clinics are required to adhere to all stipulated
conditions, including accommodation duration and other specific details but booking
done by the clients will be handled by the clinic chosen.
- overage is strictly limited to services available within Bahrain; any unavailable/overseas
services or medications are excluded from coverage.
- Clients may request services from the company’s partner network but must remain
flexible in partner selection, particularly when certain partners face full bookings or
other constraints.
- Vaccinations include one annual dose for animals over one year of age, accompanied by
deworming and flea/tick prevention every three months.
- Coverage is activated only upon full payment of the selected package or settlement of all
installment amounts equaling the full package price. The start date and duration of 365
days will be explicitly outlined.
- Annual coverage amounts are set at 5,000 BHD for the Care and Love packages, while
other packages offer annual coverage of up to 10,000 BHD (Peaceful and Mercy {lans
excluded).
- Cases of death or sudden death are not compensated; coverage is limited to medical
examinations and interventions conducted prior to the death.
- The client must inform the company of any changes in the case’s data and obtain a
confirmation email detailing the updated information and subsequent procedures
stating the start and end date of the coverage.
- At the end of the agreed-upon contract term, the agreement is automatically
terminated. A 14-day grace period is provided for renewal, allowing you to avoid
repeating the initial registration steps, which could take up to three months.
- Renewal notifications for your current plan will be sent at least 60 days and again at 30
days prior to the expiration of coverage.
- In the event of disputes with any of our partners, you are required to contact us directly
and refrain from taking independent action.

that you upgrade to the next plan or contribute specified payments. This requirement is
not applicable to the Royal plan.

50%, exclusively through approved partners. Please refer to the list of designated
partners for these services. Coverage for any such services is capped at a maximum of
300 BHD.
- When visiting one of our partners, they will manage the case until your pet is fully
treated or referred to another partner by them, not by you. Should you opt to transfer
the case to a different partner, coordination must be handled through the company;
otherwise, any further costs incurred will not be covered.

immediately, with notification provided to the client. Any disputes or clarifications will
be addressed by our legal team.
- In circumstances where outbreaks are officially announced by veterinarians or the
ministry, a supplementary charge of up to 50% of the current plan cost will apply.
Refund
- Coverage activation is contingent upon receipt of an approval letter, not merely
payment. Primary medical investigation must be conducted first following payment and
prior to approval. In the case of disputes or non-eligibility for approval, a full refund will
be issued without deductions.
- Following approval and the commencement of coverage, you have 14 days to review the
terms and conditions and may opt to withdraw during this period. After the 14-day
window, refunds are not applicable under any circumstances.
- The company reserves the right to terminate the agreement without refunds under the
following conditions: relocation to another country; deterioration in the animal’s health
due to non-compliance with partner instructions; discovery of inaccurate or incomplete
information; identification of fraudulent claims; or detection of unnecessary claims.

result in contract termination. Terminations will be communicated via email, phone, or
in-person office visits.

and efficiency throughout the claims process. We kindly request clients to avoid
submitting unnecessary claims that may result in the misallocation of our partners’
valuable time.

given, and a confirmation email is received. The updated information must be registered
in the company’s system within 14 days of the decision. Failure to meet the 14-day

unless an upgrade is made, in which case the original dates still apply.

their pet’s microchip number for identification purposes.
