Why buy ?
Pets can get into all sorts of scrapes and suffer from sudden illnesses. Our is here to help you pay vet fees that can quickly mount up. It also gives you the peace of mind of knowing you can afford great care and treatment for your pet, even if you’re abroad.
If your pet goes missing, we can help pay for the adverts and rewards needed to get them back quickly and safely. We can even reimburse you (up to your policy limit) if you’ve got to cancel a holiday because your pet disappears before you travel.
You can take out a new policy for your pet as soon as they’re eight weeks old. We’ll also welcome cats until their tenth birthday and most dogs until their eighth birthday. For some special dog breeds, the age limit for a new policy is their fifth birthday. But don’t worry, if you’ve already insured your pet with us before these milestones, cover can continue as they get older.
As you will probably know, all insurance policies have restrictions. To find out more about our terms and conditions, exclusions and excesses, please review our policy document.
