Insuring older pets is not uncommon today, for example horses, dogs, or cats that are middle aged and which have abandoned or abused, or, their owner is unable to look after them any more often require new homes. In such circumstances its possible the new owners may want to seek coverage.

As the pet insurance market has become competitive, leading companies have sought to widen the scope of cover and attract new customers. This is illustrated by some leading providers now offering insurance for older cats and dogs that are over 5 years of age. Such pet policies are usually more expensive than those for younger pets. Depending on the circumstances and age, your old pet may also be required to undergo a check up with a recommended vet to ensure a clean bill of health before the insurer takes on the risk. Alternatively, the pet insurance company may insist on a declaration from you regarding your pet dog, horse, or cats health, to the best of your knowledge.

If your older pet suffers with pre-existing conditions or is prone to a particular illness that may develop in later life, it is likely that this will also be excluded, although this does depend on the individual insurer’s terms and conditions.
