Vet bills
Here's a break down of fees and what to expect should your pet fall ill.
Why should I take out pet insurance?
For most of us, pets are part of the family, so when a beloved four-legged friend suffers an illness or injury, it is upsetting and, very often, extremely expensive.
Vet bills can make a significant dent in your finances, so it’s worth planning for unexpected costs so you’re covered if your pet needs medical treatment.

There are four types of pet insurance:
Accident only: Provides cover for vet bills if your pet is injured in an accident. It’s the cheapest type of pet insurance.
Time limited: These policies provide cover for a specific time, usually 12 months, to cover accidents or short-term illnesses.
Per condition: Also known as ‘maximum benefit’ cover, per condition policies allocate a fixed sum of money to treat each illness or injury.
Lifetime: This type of cover is more expensive than the others but protects your pet over the course of its life.
