Why insure your pet's health?
As we well know, pets get sick just like people. In fact on average one out of every two pets gets sick each year. So we recommend all our customers take out pet insurance to safe guard against the cost of treatments, medication and tests, for your own peace of mind.

When choosing an insurance company we recommend that you look for one that offers:

Comprehensive cover for life
Look for a policy that gets topped up every year when you renew your policy however many claims you've needed to make. Also check that once insured, exclusions are not introduced to your policy at renewal and for any restrictions for chronic, on-going conditions.

Claims
Check to see how quickly they settle claims and if their payment methods are suited to you.

Your premium
The cheapest available policy might not be the best for your pet. Check carefully through each policy's exclusions before you buy.

Your excess
Some companies fix the excess so that you pay a single, fixed excess per condition per year regardless of the size of the final bill or how many times you need to claim for that condition during the year.

Customer service
All reputable companies offer seven day a week helplines so that there's always someone on hand to offer help and advice should you need it. Look for one with a freephone or local rate number too.
