Does MiPet Cover insurance cover dental treatment?
All MiPet Cover policies include dental treatment as a result of an accident.
Subject to evidence of yearly dental check-ups, where any work recommended is carried out at your own expense, they will also cover dental treatment as a result of illness.
Does MiPet Cover insurance covers pre-existing medical conditions?
No. You may still be able to get cover with MiPet if your pet has pre-existing conditions, but any illness, injury or symptoms your pet had before the start of the policy will not be covered.

MiPet Cover customer reviews
As MiPet Cover is a new company (it was launched in 2017), there aren’t many reviews for it online just yet.
The Company has one 5 out of 5 stars review on its Facebook page: ‘Recently switched to MiPet insurance and very pleased so far. Easy to swap over, very helpful over telephone and I'm saving over £30pm for the same premium lifetime cover I had previously for my 2yr old Manchester Terrier, with veterinary staff discount. Happy to recommend.’
