For many responsible pet owners, insurance is one of the many ways of caring for their pet, like feeding, grooming and exercise. Animals are just as susceptible to illness and injuries as their owners and our experience shows that 1 in 3 pet owners had to make an unexpected trip to the vet (source: Petplan). With such a high proportion of the nation’s pets requiring veterinary attention, it is important to consider the benefits that pet insurance can provide.

There are many unforeseen risks associated with owning a cat, dog or rabbit. In the event that your pet is lost or stolen you may want to advertise for its safe return and offer a reward to the individual who found it. Pet insurance can help cover the cost of boarding kennel/cattery fees if you are hospitalised or even help with legal costs if your dog causes an accident resulting in 3rd party damage or injury.
