Pet insurance for puppies in India — start smart, not scared
Finish core vaccines, understand waiting periods, and enrol when your puppy meets product eligibility (often around 3 months+).

Quick answer
Puppies need a vaccination plan first. GuavaSure membership supports early records and wellness; optional Digit-issued insurance is typically explored once age and health rules allow — GuavaSure is not the insurer.
Vaccines before viral tweets
DHPPiL and rabies timing protect your puppy in India’s disease environment. See our vaccination timeline guide for schedules and city-wise cost bands.
Insurance does not replace vaccines. It sits beside them once eligibility opens.
Check whether your puppy’s age unlocks cover
Use the real DOB — do not force an inaccurate age in the form.
Eligibility and waiting periods — be honest
Many GuavaSure journeys expect puppies around three months or older before insurance options appear. Even after purchase, illness waiting periods mean week-one diarrhoea may not be payable.
Buying early still helps — you complete waiting periods before the high-risk adolescent months.
- Do not falsify date of birth to unlock a quote.
- Ask your vet before socialising widely pre-vaccines.
- Keep every vaccine invoice from day one.
What to set up in the first 90 days
GuavaId photos, vaccine card scans, and a single folder of invoices. When a claim or reimbursement ever happens, that boring folder is the whole game.
Still unsure about sum insured or waiting periods?
Talk through your dog’s profile before you decide.

Always read active policy wording, waiting periods, and exclusions before you buy.
Insurance in this flow is issued by Go Digit General Insurance Limited. Claims are reviewed and paid by the insurer.
