Why have veterinary pet insurance?

Veterinary pet insurance is all about peace of mind: Knowing that whatever scrapes your loved animal gets itself into, your vet pet insurance will help you make sure your pet is properly looked after, without worrying about the bills.

If you're a new pet owner, you'll soon discover that pets get ill or injured at the most unpredictable of times - in the middle of the night and at weekends, when seeing a vet is at its most expensive. A good pet medical insurance policy will cover you for these unexpected costs, helping you focus on getting your pet better.

INTERESTING FACT: The average cost of a pet receiving veterinary treatment when sick is £80, rising to £94 if the animal is injured.

A good vet pet insurance policy will cover your pet's care providing comprehensive treatment*, which allows you to enjoy all the love, affection and fun a pet brings, without worrying about their health. All pet medical insurance policies will provide cover in the UK, some will protect your pet abroad too - useful if your pet has a PETS passport and you plan to holiday abroad. Like all types of insurance, most veterinary pet insurance policies will have an excess you'll need to pay - make sure you check the small print to see how much before you take out the cover.
