Petplan Dog and Puppy Insurance

For pet people there are few commitments more rewarding and exciting than giving a puppy or dog a new home.

Dogs, and puppies in particular are renowned for their mischievous and inquisitive nature which can result in accidents - so it is important to have your policy in place from the outset of ownership.

Is insurance really necessary?

Our experience shows that 1 in 3 pets require unexpected veterinary treatment each year and younger dogs are particularly vulnerable as they need time to adjust to their new surroundings. Unfortunately this increased risk sometimes ends with an impromptu trip to the vet so it is never too early to buy your puppy insurance policy.

With extensive developments in veterinary science vets now have a variety of different diagnostic techniques at their disposal. However, advanced methods can come at a cost and just diagnosing a condition can quickly run into many hundreds of pounds.

If you have just purchased or re-homed a puppy then Petplan offers cover from the age of just 8 weeks (or 6 weeks or if re-homed from an approved Petplan breeder). Whether you’ve just introduced your puppy into the family home, or they're a few months into finding their feet, our dog insurance policy can help cover the cost of veterinary treatment when things go wrong.

What is Covered For Life™?

Covered For Life™ is a type of policy that provides ongoing cover to protect you against the costs of treatment for long-term illnesses and conditions. At Petplan we offer two lifetime dog insurance policies – Classic with vet fees cover of up to £4,000 or £7,000 per year and Ultimate with up to £12,000 vet fees per year.

Both Classic and Ultimate policies offer a host of valuable benefits as standard including Third Party Liability cover, advertising and reward and complementary treatment should your dog require specialist care.
