Supporting new pets with 4 weeks free insurance

At Petplan, we want all pets to get off to the best start in their new homes. We follow in the footsteps of our founder Patsy Bloom, who started Petplan more than 45 years ago. She was a passionate ambassador for animal health, and worked with the pet care industry to spread the word about insurance and how it can help owners give their pets the best possible care. Today, vets, breeders and animal charities still work with us to help introduce new pet owners to the benefits of pet insurance.

They know that owners across Britain trust us to help them get the best care with insuring over 1.3 million pets – that’s more than any other insurer. And on top of that, they’ve seen first-hand the quality of our cover and how simple our claims process is.

If you've adopted a pet from a rehoming centre, purchased a pet through a breeder or recently visited a vet and shown an interest in pet insurance cover, you may have been introduced to 4 weeks free Petplan insurance. This is free insurance with no catch. If your pet falls ill or becomes injured, you can claim to help cover the cost of vet bills. There is no need to provide your bank details; the policy automatically expires after 4 weeks and there is no obligation to buy a full, paid-for policy.
