Get started How it works

Paws Beyond Borders, LLC operates a veterinary membership program, not an insurance product. Membership provides percentage-based coverage and instant savings at participating clinics subject to plan terms, annual caps, waiting periods, and eligibility rules. We do not guarantee the quality of veterinary care provided by independent clinics. Members are responsible for their own travel to clinics in Mexico. This program is not a policy of insurance and does not cover all veterinary expenses.
