Insurance

Pet owners are fortunate that Britain is one of a few countries in the world that has well-established, reputable and efficient pet insurance. We strongly advise all pet owners to insure their pets against expenses incurred through illness or accident. To this end, a number of leaflets and proposal forms are readily available.

Things to consider when choosing a policy are:

Is the insurance company reputable?
Is the company a pet insurance specialist?
Have you compared the excesses and benefit levels?
Have you checked that the premium and excess does not increase each time you make a claim?
Will the company insure your pet into its old age?
Check the insurere will not place exclusions at renewal for an illness that has ocurred the previous policy year.
Check if your insurer will cover the following after the start of the insurance: congenital and hereditary illness, hip related conditions, dental treatment, behavioural problems, diet food used to dissolve bladder stones and crystals in urine.
