Steps
Collect required rating inputs from the pet owner: species (dog/cat), breed, age, gender, spayed/neutered status, and zip code for the rating territory; some carriers also require the pet's name for policy issuance
Call the carrier or MGA's quoting API with the collected inputs; receive a response containing available plan options differentiated by annual deductible, reimbursement percentage (e.g., 70%, 80%, 90%), and annual benefit limit
Display plan options with monthly premium, key coverage inclusions (accidents, illnesses, wellness if available), and a summary of major exclusions—most pet policies exclude pre-existing conditions
On plan selection, POST a bind request with the chosen plan ID, pet details, owner information, and payment method; receive the policy number and effective date in the response
Store the policy number against the pet owner's account and configure a renewal reminder workflow 60 days before the annual renewal date
Known gotchas
Breed-based rating is significant in pet insurance; certain breeds are rated differently due to predisposition to hereditary conditions—ensure your intake form captures breed accurately and handles mixed-breed inputs gracefully
Pre-existing condition exclusions are strictly applied and are based on the pet's medical history at enrollment; advise applicants that conditions documented in veterinary records before the policy start date will not be covered
Age limits for new enrollment are common (e.g., pets over 14 years may not be eligible for new policies on some programs); validate the pet's age against eligibility rules before presenting a quote to avoid a confusing bind failure
