What is Pet Insurance?

Vet bills are going up all the time, and unless your pet is super healthy the chances are they will be taking a trip or two there each year.

Pet Insurance simply means that if you are worried about your pets’ health you don’t have to have the added worry of how much it is going to cost to get them treated.

Most Insurers will offer cover for cats and dogs, however Britain’s leader in pet insurance, Pet Plan, will insure other pets such as rabbits, horses and exotic pets. Insurers generally cover the cost of vet bills for illness and conditions but not for routine trips such as vaccinations, nail clipping and neutering.

When it comes to deciding on a pet, don’t just look at the initial price tag! Consider the cost of keeping the animal, and this includes much more than its food. Think about how much it will cost to visit the vet, then think about pet insurance!

There are two main types of policies with Pet Insurance. The first is a policy where you may only be able to claim for a condition for a limited period, usually 12 months. The other policy type is known as Life Long. This policy does what it says....pays out for the condition for the life of the animal, particularly useful for conditions such as arthritis, glaucoma and diabetes etc. Each policy will have maximum amounts that they will pay out per condition per year.
