Dog Insurance

For a lifetime policy, choose one of our Covered for Life products.

Covered for Life policies are designed for dog owners worried about their pet developing a long-term illness, like arthritis or eczema, and our plan provides up to £12,000 of vet fees cover each year. Our lifetime policies also offer cover for complementary treatment such as acupuncture and homeopathy and will also pay up to £1,000 for the advertising and reward costs if your beloved dog goes missing. As well as a range of other benefits, our dog insurance plan will also offer up to £3 million of Third Party Liability cover.

Petplan Essential is designed for dog owners who want cover to provide help with the initial high cost of veterinary treatment.

In addition to covering vet fees up to £3,000 per illness or injury, for up to 12 months, Petplan Essential will provide Third Party Liability insurance if property is damaged, or someone is injured or dies as a result of an incident involving your dog.
