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.
It is an extra cost that every caring owner will be willing to pay even though these bills can run into hundreds and, in severe cases, thousands of pounds.
Finding such a sum can be a worry. Just knowing that your pet is insured can be a great comfort to owners and means your pet will receive all the treatment necessary and the insurance company will pick up the bill.
Policies will cover accidents and illnesses but will not cover vaccinations, preventative healthcare i.e. worming or neutering. Initial claims are subject to an excess amount per condition which is paid by the owner, whilst the insurance company pay the rest.
As the contract is between the client and the insurance company, clients are responsible for settling accounts which are then reclaimed from the insurance company. You are far more likely to claim on your pet’s insurance policy than your home insurance policy and yet we don’t think twice about insuring our homes!
