Why should I insure my pet?
Cats and dogs are always able to get themselves into scrapes. But sometimes they can pick up severe injuries and require veterinary care, which can be prohibitively expensive.

"2.6 million people declined recommended treatments in 2008, because they couldn't afford it."Should the worst happen and your pet becomes ill or suffers an accident, veterinary bills can run into thousands of pounds. A report in the Guardian from November 2008 found the average vet bill for a dog was £300, with owners having to pay up to £4,000 for some fractures and up to £10,000 over several years if a pet had a more complicated condition, such as a tumour or spinal disorder.

The report also found that 1.6 million pet owners have put their dogs and cats to sleep over the past five years because they couldn't afford the veterinary fees or continuing medical costs of looking after their animals, while 2.5 million people admitted they had declined recommended treatment for their pets because they simply couldn't afford it. Different policies are available, starting around £4.50 per month, to suit the level of cover you would like.
