A bilateral condition is one that can happen on both sides of your pet’s body, for example, one that affects its eyes, ears, or legs.
If your pet is diagnosed with a bilateral condition that is covered by us, we will also cover the condition if it occurs on the other side of its body.
If your pet develops a bilateral condition that is not covered by us, we will not cover the condition on either side of its body.
For example, if your pet has a pre-existing bilateral condition, the corresponding body part on the other side of its body will also be deemed a pre-existing condition — it won’t be covered.
So, if your dog has a pre-existing cruciate ligament condition or injury in its left knee, the same condition or injury in its right knee will not be covered.
