What pet insurance plans does Lemonade offer in Aurora?
A base Lemonade pet health insurance policy in Aurora helps cover the costs of medication, tests, and treatments if your cat or dog has an unexpected accident or illness (provided it’s not related to a pre-existing condition, and occurs after your policy’s waiting period has ended).
Lemonade also offers three preventative care packages:
- Preventative + Care package
- Preventative + Care package
- Preventative Package for Puppy/Kitten
These packages are designed to keep your pet healthy and help cover expenses you’re probably paying for routine care anyway, such as check-ups and teeth cleanings. By adding one of these packages to your Lemonade policy, you’ll get access to all kinds of things—like your annual blood tests, vaccinations, wellness exam, and more. There may be some applicable exclusions.
Depending on your pet’s age, this package covers things like spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and flea and tick treatments.
You can also customize your Lemonade policy with a mix and match of optional add-ons like:
- Physical therapy
- Vet visit fees
- Dental Illness
- Behavioral conditions
- End-of-life and remembrance
These coverages can help take a bite out of pricey treatments, services, and trips to the vet.
Lemonade Pet policyholders also have access to Chewy’s Connect with a Vet service, which allows you to chat with veterinary professionals on any aspect of your pet’s health and well-being. Keep in mind that this service is a supplement to in-person or virtual vet exams, and the Chewy team cannot prescribe medication or diagnose illnesses.

How does pet insurance work in Aurora?
1. Buy a policy
Answer a few quick questions about your 5-month-old Beagle, Luna, and build your pet’s policy with the help of our friendly AI chatbot Maya. The monthly premium you pay is determined by a few factors, mostly things that you can customize, like your annual deductible, your co-insurance, the annual limit on your plan, and any preventative care packages or add-ons you include.
If you want, you can take a deeper dive into how to buy a Lemonade pet insurance policy.
2. Go to the vet
You rush Luna to the vet after she sneaks into your halloween candy stash. The candy wrappers she scarfed down cause intestinal blockage, and she ends up needing an emergency intestinal blockage surgery that comes with a price tag of $7,000. Woof. But because you have pet insurance, you don’t have to worry about the full amount.
3. File a claim
You get a pic of the vet invoice and/or a paid receipt, plus a copy of your medical records or notes from that specific vet visit. Then you head to the Lemonade app to file a pet insurance claim with the help of our friendly AI chatbot Jim.
4. Get your money back
Luna is safely on the mend and you get up to a $6,300 reimbursement back in your pocket from Lemonade!
Is pet insurance worth it in Aurora?
When deciding if pet insurance is worth it for you financially, it may help to see it as an investment for the future.
Check out how much pet parents of dogs and cats under two years old have saved on vet bills in Illinois by signing their fur baby up for pet insurance.
| Breed | Amount saved |
|---|---|
| Domestic Shorthair | $457 |
| Goldendoodle | $743 |
| Bernedoodle | $1,038 |
| French Bulldog | $1,178 |
It’s worth noting that as your dog ages, they will require more veterinary care and treatments, which is why it pays to take out a pet insurance policy for your dog as early as possible. If you try to sign your 13-year-old dog up for insurance for the first time, they might be declined due to their age; either way, they’re more likely to have pre-existing conditions that won’t be covered by insurance.
At Lemonade, you can cover your pet from the time they’re two months old.
