Why Should I Choose Dog Insurance?

Introduction to Dog insurance

Dogs and puppies are renowned for being hyperactive and mischievous, which means they can get themselves into all sorts of trouble. Puppies especially need to learn their limits, but it’s important to remember that older dogs are also at risk.

Petplan offers a range of dog insurance policies which all include a vet fees benefit to help pay for unexpected vet bills. In addition to falling sick or getting injured there is a whole list of other ways your dog could cost you money. You may want to offer a reward if you lose your dog, pay boarding kennel fees if you are hospitalised and what if your dog causes damage to someone else´s property?

Dog insurance can offer cover for all these costs and more*.

Dog insurance statistics

More than three quarters (77%) of vets believe pet owners underestimate the cost of treatment for their dog. It’s not surprising an impressive 96% of them recommend dog insurance (The Petplan Census 2007). Petplan is an insurance provider that fully understands the dog insurance market and our dog insurance policies are built to give you what you need, when you need it and at a range of prices to suit your pocket.

If you are particularly worried about the current economic climate, it’s important that you are prepared in case you are hit with unexpected vet fees. Taking out a dog insurance policy means that you can rest assured that you could get help with vet fees at a time when you need it. It’s better to be safe now than suffer any undue expense, or worse, heartache, later on.

Third Party Liability Dog Insurance

Third party liability is an important part of any dog insurance policy. All Petplan dog insurance policy options help cover the costs should your dog cause damage to property or serious injury to a person*.

By taking out dog insurance today you could help protect yourself against paying potentially large sums of money.

Why do dogs get ill?

Did you know that your home environment could cause problems for your dog? The central heating, something we as UK residents can’t live without, can irritate your dog’s skin in the same way as it does our own.

Dogs can also be prone to other long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and behavioural problems and Doginsurance can help with the cost of treating these conditions.

Covered for Life dog insurance

Everyone wants to keep their ‘best friend’ happy and healthy well into their old age. “Covered for Life” dog insurance means you can help to ensure that as long as you renew your policy each year without a break, your dog will be insured against many eventualities, allowing you that peace of mind and enjoyment you get from your ‘best friend’.

The Petplan Census carried out in 2007 to a range of vet practices revealed some startling data; only 3% of pet owners have made ample provision for treatment and 97% of vets have had clients who chose euthanasia due to lack of funds.
