Pet Insurance

1 in 3 pets need unexpected veterinary treatment each year. Whilst advances in veterinary medicine mean we can do more for your pet, treatment costs can soon mount up. We recommend Petplan insurance to all our clients to help cover unexpected vets bills. 

You are more likely to claim on your pet insurance than your car or household policies (Allianz Insurance plc). In fact, in our experience if you are one of the few people who don’t need to claim on your pet insurance you really are very lucky indeed! 

N
ot all pet insurance is the same. Some policies limit the amount of time or money that you can claim for. Don’t judge a policy on price alone.

We recommend Petplan insurance for the following reasons:

bulletWith Petplan’s Covered for Life guarantee your veterinary fees cover is renewed each year no matter how much you claim.
bulletPetplan doesn’t place exclusions at renewal on their Covered for Life policy so on-going conditions such as skin allergy or arthritis continue to be covered by the policy. 
bulletPetplan won’t increase your premium or excess just because you make a claim.
bulletPetplan is a pet insurance specialist so they understand the animal market and work closely with vets, charities and breeders.
