Should my pets be insured?
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 or other animal. 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.
An insurance policy can provide cover for all these things and more, giving you the much needed peace of mind when it comes to your pet´s well-being. We are happy to recommend PetPlan as a company with a wide range of offerings that we have found to be helpful and efficient. We are happy to welcome pets covered by any company's policies, but whichever policy you decide upon be sure to read the terms and conditions so you understand exactly what you are buying.
