Unlimited (or high) annual benefit resets each policy year for ongoing conditions you claimed for while insured subject to the insurer’s terms. Capped or “per-condition” plans may stop paying after you hit the limit, even if you renew.
If your pet is young and you want protection against chronic disease (skin, joints, endocrine), an unlimited annual benefit is usually the right conversation. If you only want accident cover for a few years, leaner plans can be cheaper know the trade-off.
Premiums rise with age and claims history across plan types. Model a 10% annual premium increase for five years so you’re not forced to lapse cover when your pet is oldest.
