Many pet owners are unaware of the risks to pets from eating chocolate. Chocolate contains an ingredient called "Theobromide" which dogs and cats cannot metabolise. It acts as a poison in
their system and if enough chocolate is consumed they may die.
This year another one in three cats and dogs will need
treatment for injuries or illnesses. Each of these pets will
rely on their owners to pay for their treatment so they
can be returned to full health. Pet insurance offers an effective way to plan for unexpected medical bills for your pet.
Flea infestation is one of the most common health problems
occurring in cats and dogs in the UK. In a recent survey,

also know it is much less costly to detect problems early
rather than to wait and treat an illness that may be more
advanced later on.

need. Vets confirm nutritional disorders have decreased
and it is accepted that pets live longer healthier lives.
Prepared pet foods have played a key role in this.
