With a Covered For Life® policy, if your dog becomes ill or injured then we can cover the treatment for the rest of their life as long as you renew your policy each year without a break in cover.
You can claim each year for any new and ongoing conditions up to the vet fees limit that you choose.
The vet fees are then refreshed at the start of each new policy year regardless of the claims you have made.
If your dog developed an ongoing condition such as diabetes:
Prescription medications
Cancer treatments
Dental
Surgery & rehabilitation
Scans
Illnesses
When choosing insurance for your dog, making sure that you have comprehensive veterinary fees cover is vital - 98% of the claims we receive are for veterinary fees. However, not all dog insurance offers a broad range of cover for vet fees and there can be limits on the types of treatments you can claim for. It’s important to do your research and read the Terms and Conditions so you know what your dog is covered for.
At Petplan we cover a wide range of veterinary treatments for dogs, these include but are not limited to:
All our policies are subject to Terms and Conditions, so please read this carefully to understand what you are covered for.
Although Vet Fees is an important part of your plan, we have other important benefits included in all our options. We offer three cover levels for Covered For Life®: Classic, Classic+ and Ultimate.

Your policy will have fixed excesses that vary depending on factors such as the type of dog you have and the type of plan you choose. To see the excess you would pay it is best to get a quote, but bear in mind this could change at your renewal.
As your dog gets older we typically add a 20% excess when you claim (in addition to the fixed excess). This helps us keep premiums affordable for older pets. For Covered For Life® plans this is usually added at the dogs 10th birthday (7th for some breeds) But don’t worry, you will be advised of this change at least a year in advance.
There are a number of factors that affect how much your dog insurance will cost, such as your dog’s age, breed and where you live. However, your premium is also influenced by increases in veterinary costs and advancements in veterinary medicine. These changing influences mean your premium will increase over the lifetime of your policy. However, Petplan will not increase your premium as a direct result of any claim you make.

Nicola Basford’s story
July 2019
This insurance is perfect for my pet. I found filling in the details of myself and my pet very straight forward, the questions are simple to understand and no long winded forms to fill in. Great that I could choose from 3 different levels of cover to suit my budget and needs and I could choose to pay monthly or in full. I would definitely recommend Petplan.
