PET INSURANCE INFORMATION LIBRARY

Below you will see information on pet insurance.

PET INSURANCE

Many people in the UK have a pet. Whether this is the most common type – a cat or a dog – or if you have something more unusual like a horse, bird or even a rodent, you can find insurance to cover the pets and their care.

Any pet owner knows that visits to the vet are something which will occur many times throughout the pet's life. Vet fees are not covered under the NHS and can become expensive, so a pet insurance policy can cover you for these.

What Types of Pet Insurance are there?

You can cover your pets in case they experience illness, an accident or even if you have to cancel a holiday because of your pet. Here are some main types of cover:

  • Vet fees
  • Theft
  • Straying
  • Death
  • Third Party Liability
  • Accidental Damage
  • Holiday Cancellation
  • Boarding

Some areas may not be covered under your pet policy, including flea control or vaccinations. Therefore it is essential to find out exactly what your policy does cover before you purchase it. Always read the small print!

Where Can I get Pet Insurance?

As with other types of insurance, you will find countless amounts of companies that offer pet insurance on the internet. This makes it especially easy to browse and look around the various companies.

When looking for pet insurance you might find that some companies only offer cat or dog insurance. For horses, rabbits, rodents, reptiles and birds you might have to look a little further afield or seek out specialist pet insurers.
