Pet Insurance

Things To Consider When Choosing Pet Insurance

There are a few details you should consider when choosing pet insurance:

• Be careful to check that the amount of the veterinary fee cover is adequate. Over time, a single illness can cost many hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
• Check that there is a no limit on how long you can claim for each illness. Chronic conditions can go on for life, not just for 12 months.
• Check that your pet will be covered in later years when they are most likely to need it.
• Like your home and car insurance, pet insurance will have an excess, which you will pay for each condition. Vaccination, pregnancy, diet and most preventative care (e.g. flea products) are excluded. Some companies offer a pensioner or multi-pet discount.

Our staff will be able to guide you with general knowledge and what to look for when choosing pet insurance, however we cannot specifically recommend any particular company

For further information, please view our information sheet about choosing insurance.

Our only interest as a veterinary practice is to ensure we never compromise the quality of veterinary care on the basis of cost.

At Scarsdale Vets we recommend Petplan’s Covered For LifeTM insurance for the following reasons:

• Petplan’s Covered for LifeTMpolicies guarantee your veterinary fees cover is renewed each year no matter how often you claim (providing you renew your policy each year with no break in cover).
• Petplan doesn’t place exclusions at renewal on their Covered for LifeTM policies so on-going conditions such as eczema continue to be covered year after year.
• Petplan won’t increase your premium or excess just because you make a claim.
• Petplan is a pet insurance specialist so they understand pets and work closely with vets, charities and breeders.
