Pet Insurance Guide

What is covered?

Pet insurance normally covers unexpected events such as illness, injury, or loss which could result in vet fees, boarding and cattery fees, transportation costs, holiday cancellation fees, advertising fees, accidental damage and legal liability.

Due to increased public awareness of the benefits of pet insurance, escalating vets fees and fierce competition among insurers, especially new entrants, it’s not surprising that more and more owners of pets are buying this type of insurance product.

For pets who are deemed to be old such as cats or dogs who are 5 years and upwards, it is still possible for them to be insured as many pet insurance companies offer cover, however, most insurers exclude any pre-existing medical conditions.

Look out for pet insurance that offers lifetime cover provided the policy is renewed annually. Some policies also take the hassle out of claiming for veterinary fees by settling the pet insurance claim directly with the vet. Many insurers also offer the ability to pay pet premiums monthly by instalments. Although price is very important when shopping around for pet insurance, always compare the cover offered and the claims excess amount by each company to ascertain real value for money.
