Sets limits on how much you can claim for any given illness or injury.
Covers your pet for a specific period of time (usually 12 months).
The cheapest option, but it only covers accidents, not illnesses.
📍 Accident only policies are 44.23%
These are the 5 most common claims made on Pomeranian pet insurance, according to The Insurance Emporium.
Claim type | Claim amount |
|---|---|
Myxomatous Mitral Valve Degeneration | £297^ |
Luxating Patella (right) | £181^ |
Tracheal issues | £2,105^ |
Unknown respiratory issues | £975^ |
Urolithiasis | £1,311^ |
Accident-only policies protect against injuries like a fractured bone but won’t cover illnesses such as urinary system issues. So if your Pomeranian developed a urolithiasis, you’d be paying an average of £1,311
Time-limited and maximum benefit policies do cover illnesses, though only for a set period or capped amount. Once that runs out, chronic and recurring conditions like arthritis are no longer covered.
Lifetime policies reset the vet fees allowance each year, so you can keep claiming for ongoing conditions. The downside is premiums usually increase each year, and switching insurer means losing cover for existing conditions.
✔ Vet bills e.g. medicines, treatments and prescriptions
✔ Hospital visits
✔ Diagnosing illnesses e.g. consultations, X-rays, MRIs
✔ Dental treatment for accidents, like breaking a tooth
✔ Alternative therapies e.g. hydrotherapy or acupuncture (when recommended by a vet)
✔ Euthanasia (putting pets down)
✔ Lost and stolen pets e.g. advertising, rewards, refund of purchase price
✔ Third party liability cover e.g. your dog harms someone or their property
✔ Emergency boarding fees e.g. if you are unexpectedly hospitalised
✖ Routine care e.g. pet vaccinations, boosters, regular check-ups
✖ Routine dental treatment including routine check-ups

While opting for a cheaper pet insurance policy might save you a few pounds a month, it's a good idea to consider what the policy covers and the actual cost of veterinary care if your pet gets sick.

^ in 2024. That's significantly higher than the average annual cost of cover for a dog (£163.68^ ) or cat (£93.03^ ).And while that’s the average, some conditions can be far more expensive.
