Why insure your pets

Vet treatment is expensive and, usually, unplanned. Treatment can cost hundreds of pounds, and you want to make sure your pet gets the help they need as soon as possible.

Just like humans, medical care for animals is becoming more advanced and pricier, meaning most pet insurance payouts are for vet bills.

Pet insurance helps you stay prepared and access quality care if your furry family member ever needs help.

What type of cover is best for me?

Compare our two cover options.

Lifetime is our most comprehensive pet cover. Lifetime policies cover your pet/s for accidents and illnesses up to the policy limit you’ve chosen each year. At renewal, the limit resets.

It’s best if you want long-term cover.

Our Lifetime policy includes:

  • Up to £10,000 in vet fee cover
  • Up to £2,000,000 in third-party liability
  • Up to £2,000 in emergency holiday cover
  • Behavioural, dental and emergency kennel/cattery cover

Your questions answered

show

My policy begins with ADMP or ADMM

What is excess?

Excess is an amount you will have to pay towards a claim. With us, all pets under the age of 6 will have a £99 excess. Pets 6 years and over will have an excess of £199.

You can choose to pay the higher excess of £199 if you have a pet under age 6. We’ll deduct this amount from the claims settlement.

There is a £250 excess applied once per claim for Third Party Liability cover (dogs only) and third-party accidental damage cover available on our Platinum tier.

What is a pre-existing condition?

A pre-existing condition is any illness, injury or complication that results from an injury or illness.

A pre-existing condition can be diagnosed or undiagnosed. It refers to a medical condition that has been identified or investigated by a vet or is otherwise known to you prior to the start of the insurance.

A condition is considered pre-existing when it happens within the first 14 days of the policy for illness or 24 hours in the case of injury.

We don’t cover for pre-existing conditions.

Will my price change at renewal?

Your premium may change due to a few factors:

  • Age
  • Breed
  • Location
  • Claims history
  • Medical advances
  • Legislation

Prices are reviewed annually, and we will let you know your new price, including what you paid last year, as a reference.

Do I get discount for adding more pets?

Absolutely!

You can get a 15% discount of each policy if you insure more than one cat or dog in your home with our Multi-pet insurance.

Can I get help from a vet out of hours?

Yes.

Our partnership with Pawsquad gives you 24/7 access year-round to a qualified vet with at least five years’ experience. You can chat to this vet over text, video or telephone at any time.

How do I renew my pet insurance?

If you pay monthly by Direct Debit your policy will automatically renew after 12 months. If you pay annually, you’ll be invited to renew by email or letter at the end of each term.

If you’d like to opt in or out of your automatic renewal, please call our customer services team on 0333 777 7361.

How do I make a claim on my pet insurance?

Will you pay the vet directly?

Payments can be made directly into your or your vet’s bank account. We just need the account details.

What vet can I use?

You can use whatever vet you want – we’ll never tell you which practice to use.

If you've not registered with a practice yet, visit the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons database to find a vet near you.

How do I make a complaint?
