What is United Pet Care?
UPC is a pet insurance alternative or complement that is affordable and restriction-free. We actively work with our growing network of veterinarians to pre-negotiate rates for our members on pet health services. Members get their savings right at the point of service, without the burden of submitting claim forms or hitting deductibles.
How are you different than pet insurance?
We are a true group product that is simple to administer and yields high participation rates. We accept all pets regardless of age, breed, or medical history, and all pets cost the same low rate because we do not underwrite pets individually.
Our vet-savings feature is only accessible at in-network vets, but our 24/7 Virtual Care, Fido Vet Spend Card by medZERO*, Pet RX prescription discount card, and most other features are not limited to a specific network.
Do you support pre-existing conditions?
Yes – unlike pet insurance, UPC savings apply to all pets with pre-existing conditions. We also love and protect senior pets and rescues, and we have no breed exclusions or waiting periods.
Our restriction-free program is consistently one of the most appealing features of our program – we hear time and time again from pet parents that they are priced out of pet insurance or can’t get coverage due to a restriction on age, breed, or pre-existing conditions.
Do you support preventive and wellness services?
Yes – unlike most pet insurance policies, we offer savings on and encourage preventive and wellness services such as annual exams, vaccines, and teeth cleanings to help prevent larger (and costlier) issues from arising in the future.
Where is your vet network?
Our growing national network is strong in most major metropolitan areas, particularly the West, Southwest, Mountain/Pacific Northwest, and the South/Southeast. We have a dedicated vet partnerships team whose sole focus is adding more vets to our network every day.
While our vet-savings feature is limited to in-network vets, our 24/7 Virtual Care, Fido Vet Spend Card by medZERO*, Pet RX prescription discount card, and most other features are not limited to a specific network. Many members happily continue their membership due to the value they receive from these non-vet savings benefits.
Do you support other pets besides dogs and cats?
Our vet network includes veterinary clinics that treat birds, reptiles, and pocket pets so that any employee’s furry, feathered, or scaled pet is covered.
