Some pet insurance policies may offer coverage for alternative therapies, sometimes called complementary therapy, such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, physical therapy, or hydrotherapy. Some of these therapies may be covered through a wellness policy add-on. However, this coverage may vary between providers and policies, so it’s important to review the policy details to see if alternative therapies are included.
