Time Limited Dog Insurance

Insurance is designed to cover unforeseen incidents so we don’t cover the general costs of looking after a pet such as vaccinations, spaying/neutering, worming, and flea treatments. Unfortunately we are also unable to cover any conditions that occurred before the start of your policy.

Did you know that you’re more likely to claim on your pet insurance than your car or home policy? Unfortunately, pets are just as susceptible to illness and injury as we are – in fact, 90% of the claims Petplan pays out are for illness, rather than accident. Insurance can help you ensure your dog gets the best care possible.

There are a number of factors that affect how much insurance for your dog will cost, such as your dog’s age, breed and where you live. Our premiums are carefully calculated for each individual pet so why not get a quote and select the policy that suits your needs.

As accidents or illnesses can happen at any time, it’s important to be aware of the different pet insurance policies available and how they can affect you and your pet. If you wait until your pet has an accident or develops an illness, you might discover it’s hard to find pet insurance policies that cover pre-existing conditions. Find out more on when to get pet insurance and what types of cover we offer.

There are generally four main types of pet insurance available. Accident only pet insurance could be considered the cheapest but please be aware it could leave you open to vet bills if your pet develops an illness such as an allergy as 90% of our claims are for illnesses. If you’re feeling curious about other pet insurance options available, but don’t know where to start, we’ve broken them all down in an easy-to-digest way, so you can work out which type of cover is best for your pet.
