Most pet insurance policies restrict the age they issue new policies to - both at the baby end and at the senior end. Here is a summary of the issue ages as best as I can find out from the companies. Be sure to check with each company to be sure of the exact ages.

| Company | Minimum (weeks) | Maximum (years) |
| Hartville Group | 8 | 13 dog 15 cat |
| Pet First | 8 | 9 |
| Pet Partners | 8 | 8 |
| Pet Protect | 8 | 11 |
| Pethealth | 8 | 8 dog 10 cat 6 select dog |
| Pets Best | 7 | 16** |
| Veterinary Pet Insurance | 6 | 9* |
* VPI does not have an upper age limit, but underwriting approval is required for enrollment of all senior pets. You can check out the requirements here.
** Pets Best quotes to high ages but you should check to see if there are similar underwriting conditions to VPI with the company.
