What is pet insurance?

Pet insurance helps cover the cost of vet treatments for illness or injury. Pets can get into all sorts of scrapes and suffer from sudden illnesses, causing vet bills to quickly add up. Our pet insurance can help make these costs more manageable, covering your pet in the event of accidents, illnesses, thefts or straying.

It covers vet bills up to £7,500 and death from an accident or illness up to £1,250. Our policies cover your pet for overseas vet fees, quarantine costs and more while you're away. We can also help provide the means to get your missing pets back safely if they're stolen or stray.

What to think about when getting pet insurance

Important terms for our cover

Pets must be at least 8 weeks old when cover starts

Pre-existing injuries and illnesses are not covered*

Exclusion periods for injury and illness apply

Certain breeds of dog are not covered

Cover limits, excess and exclusions apply

See the policy wording for details.


Budgeting for increasing renewal prices

As pets age, they're unfortunately more likely to get ill. That's why your renewal price is likely to go up each year. Additionally, when your pet turns a certain age (5 for a dog, and 7 for a cat) you will need to pay a co-payment of 15% in addition to the standard excess.

Get covered in minutes

No pressure. No fluff. Just fair pet insurance from people who get it.
