Pet insurance is a very useful way of protecting your family from the unexpected burden of big Veterinary bills. Other important aspects of pet insurance include provision of third party cover which is especially important for dogs. Examples of when this cover may be useful include car accidents caused by pets, the unfortunate times that our dogs may attack other dogs, cats or even humans but also damage to the house by destructive or incontinent pets.
An important concept in pet insurance is 'cover for life'. The expensive conditions for insurance companies are chronic illnesses which may require ongoing medication, diagnostic tests and check-ups for many years. Examples include arthritis, heart conditions and hormonal problems such as diabetes and thyroid problems. Many of the cheaper policies will only provide cover for 12 months for each condition.
We recommend insurance is taken out with Pet Plan as they provide cover for life policies.
