Apply for pet insurance today.

How Does Pet Insurance Work?

Pet insurance is similar to other forms of health insurance cover. A premium is paid to the provider. When your pet becomes ill and requires treatment you make a claim for the costs incurred. The insurance provider then pays out a cheque and you bank it. Simple! Most types of domesticated animal are eligible for pet insurance in the UK. Many standard policies insure cats and dogs. Some extend cover to rabbits, birds and horses. For exotic animals and other uncommon pets competitive insurance quotes are best sought through companies that specialise in insuring these types of creatures. For all types of pets it is worth noting that premiums may vary according to breed.

What's covered?

Reimbursement of veterinary fees is the main reason pet owners insure their animals. But there are other benefits available too. If your pet were to die from accidental injury your policy may cover the price you paid for the animal. Should your pet injure someone or cause damage to property you may have legal protection by way of third party liability cover. Even if your pet was to go missing you may be able to claim for the cost of advertising for the pet's safe return or for membership of the Missing Pets Bureau. When taking out insurance, pet owners are offered choices on the level of cover. The cheapest pet insurance arrangements are policies that pay out on conditions caused by accidental injury only, or where claims are limited to certain illnesses. More comprehensive pet insurance policies cover pets for all eventualities, including treatment for a long list of illnesses and disease, for the whole of the animal's life. Premiums may be slightly higher, but for your peace of mind and the knowledge that your pet is able to receive the best treatment, come what may, the extra cost is often worth it.
