Why insure your pet?
We all want the best for our four-legged friends. Our policies can cover your cat or dog when they need it most – whether for unexpected vet fees, medication or even a specialist diet.
Looking after the dog in your life
Few dogs enjoy going to the vet. But most will have to, most commonly for their ears, teeth or arthritis. Maybe they’ll be injured, or eat something they shouldn’t. While vet trips can be stressful for owners too, our pet insurance can offer peace of mind about the bill afterwards.
Making sure your cat’s covered
With their natural curiosity, cats sometimes find themselves in trouble. We can cover treatment in case of injury, for example from falls, road accidents or run-ins with other pets. They’ll also be covered if they come down with an illness or a condition they didn’t have before you took out your policy.
