Micro-chipping your pet for protection

The best defence against dog or cat theft is micro-chipping your pet. It's inexpensive and ensures that if your pet is found, he or she will be quickly returned home. Micro-chipping your pet is also a good idea if he or she tends to stray. It may also save you money on your pet healthcare insurance: If you choose esure, we'll give you a 5% discount when you insure a micro chipped dog or cat with us.

Dog-napping and lost pets

If you are unlucky enough to suffer a dog-napping*, esure's pet healthcare policies provide support: Up to a total of £2,500 for advertising and rewards to aid recovery and we'll give you £1000 if you or a member of your household is injured in the course of the dog-nap. We'll even pay £500 (or £1500 with our Pet Plus policy) towards recovery costs if your pet has simply wandered off and you need to run a campaign or offer a reward to find them.

Choose esure's pet healthcare insurance and you'll also benefit from our helplines, which you can use as soon as your policy starts. We offer legal assistance, advice for dog-napping, a unique health and wellbeing helpline staffed by knowledgeable and caring veterinary nurses, plus a UK search facility for vets and registered pet minders. With convenient online quotes, a fast application process, low premiums and reliable cover, you can relax with esure.

INTERESTING FACT: 54% of people who buy pet healthcare insurance bought for peace of mind, as opposed to 18% who bought it to avoid paying big vet bills.
