Here Are Some of the Most Common Fears We Hear From Our Coloradan Pet Parents:
Coyotes
Known to live in many areas of Colorado state – including urban locations – coyotes can be predatory and territorial in nature. In fact, one of our Embraced cats, Maxine, was attacked by a coyote on her own deck.
Other Wildlife
Many species of wildlife call various regions of Colorado home. While you probably won’t encounter large game during a walk through Cheesman Park, moose and elk can be found on the trails of many national parks throughout the state. When dogs chase wildlife, they can be easily injured by a territorial animal of their stature. They can also run off trail, which increases a dog’s risk of exposure to ticks and rattlesnakes.
Rattlesnakes
Colorado is home to two species of rattlesnakes: the prairie rattlesnake and the massasauga. Rattlesnake envenomation requires immediate emergency intervention, and depending on the of injury, treatment can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Ticks
Much of Colorado’s high country meets the criteria ticks love to inhabit. Hiking in heavily wooded areas or areas with taller grass means running into a tick (or few) is inevitable. Some of the diseases that ticks carry can be challenging (and expensive) to treat.
Blue-green Algae
Colorado’s many bodies of water and beautiful hiking places are the perfect spots for your dog go for a dip. But blue-green algae is common throughout the state because of the sporadic temperatures – and it can be deadly to dogs.
Unexpected Accidents
Unexpected accidents lurk just around the corner – from slipping on ice to ingesting something toxic. You certainly can’t plan for the unexpected, but you can always be prepared for them with pet insurance.

What’s Not Covered With Cat and Dog Insurance?
While no pet insurance covers pre-existing conditions – Embrace included – we do distinguish between curable and incurable pre-existing conditions and cover curable conditions after your pet is symptom and treatment-free for 12 months when we consider pre-existing condition pet insurance.
We also do not cover cosmetic procedures (declawing, ear cropping, tail docking, etc.), breeding and whelping, DNA testing, or cloning.
For routine and preventative care, many providers offer flexible wellness plans, serving as the perfect complement to a comprehensive pet insurance policy. You can learn more about preventative care here.
