With vets' fees becoming increasingly expensive and no "pet NHS", the bill for even minor treatments can be a shock. Vets' bills for treating a broken leg for example could cost up to £1000*. So insuring your pet could be a very sensible move.

We pay up to £3000 for each eligible condition for up to 12 months from the first treatment date (whichever limit comes first). The 12 month limit for each condition helps us to keep down the costs of long term illnesses e.g. maintenance drugs. It provides adequate cover for the majority of conditions, which do not require long term treatment and is normal for competitively priced policies.
You can pay online in one lump sum using Visa, MasterCard or Switch/Maestro. A Direct Debit lump sum or monthly payments can be set up at no extra cost.
If you're paying by card, please note that "card number" refers to the long number shown across the middle of your card (this is between 16 and 21 digits).
Our premiums are calculated on various factors individual to each customer and pet, for example the specific age and breed of the pet. If you would like to discuss your premium and cover, please call us - we will be happy to go through this with you.
Simply call us and we will send you a claim form to complete. If you prefer (and your vet agrees) we can also settle bills for treatment directly with the vet .
This is the amount you pay towards the vet fee claim for each condition. For all pets aged 7 or older the mandatory co-insurance amount is 20%. This is in addition to the standard excess of £55 for cats and £65 for dogs and any voluntary excess you may have selected.
For example, if a claim of £300 was made for a dog, the initial excess of £65 would be deducted and you would then be required to pay 20% of the remaining £235 balance, which is £47. Therefore the total you would be required to pay towards the claim is £112.
