They leap.
You catch them.

Wellness

Sunday weigh-in: 142g.

You log it in your spreadsheet, same as always. Last week it was 145g. A three-gram drop means a vet call in the morning — and Glide covers the whole visit.

Accident

Free-roam o'clock.

She launches from your shoulder, misjudges the landing, tumbles. Your heart stops. An emergency visit at 11 pm costs $380. Your deductible is already met.

Specialist

Dr. Reeves takes one look.

"Metabolic bone disease — early stage." He's one of four exotic-certified vets in the state. Standard policies call him out-of-network. Glide calls him covered.

Chronic Care

She made it through the night.

Calcium supplements, monthly rechecks, the special BML tweak Dr. Reeves suggested. Chronic condition management isn't a footnote in your policy — it's the whole point.

Glider parent stories

From the people who know these animals best.

Pepper developed MBD at 14 months. My regular vet had never treated a glider — I drove two hours to an exotic specialist. Glide covered every single visit, including the follow-up ultrasounds. I don't know what I would have done.

At 2 am on a Tuesday, Mochi fell during free-roam and wouldn't bear weight on her back leg. I drove 45 minutes to the emergency exotic clinic. Filed the claim on my phone in the waiting room. Direct deposit three days later.

I've had gliders for nine years. I went through three different insurance companies before Glide. The others all had an exotic animal exclusion buried in the fine print. Glide was the first one that just... covered them. No asterisks.
