It’s always worth shopping around to find the best deals on puppy insurance. The cost of your insurance will vary on several factors including:
There are different policy types for you to choose from for your puppy. They will range with the amount of cover and the price. Usually the more comprehensive the cover, the more expensive your insurance is likely to be.
Certain dog breeds are known to have more health problems than other breeds, so would be more expensive to insure
Where you live affects the premium you will pay to insure your pup. This is because location affects the costs vets face like wages and rent to pay
Neutering your pet can potentially lower your premiums as it reduces the chance of your pet contracting those diseases and makes them less likely to stray
There are four common types of pet insurance to choose from, each with different levels of cover and cost:
Lifetime cover is the most popular policy. It will give you the most comprehensive cover for you puppy throughout its lifetime including any illnesses and accidents occur
This policy offers cover for a limited time and fixed sum for each illness or illness your puppy gets which makes it an ideal policy for short term illnesses or injuries
Also known as ‘maximum benefit’, your puppy will be covered for a fixed amount per condition. The maximum cover will differ depending on the illness or injury
This policy is the cheapest option however, it will not cover any illnesses or conditions. It will only cover for accidents or complications that occur due to an accident
A typical pet insurance policy will cover your pet if it suffers from illness, injury or disease but won’t cover vaccinations, routine treatments or specific conditions. Here are some features to consider:
Kennel costs
Death by accident or illness
Travel abroad
Third party liability cover
Alternative therapies
Routine check-ups and vaccinations
Spaying/castration
Puppies under eight weeks old
While pet insurance might be an extra cost, it protects you financially if your poor pooch has an accident or illness and needs vet treatment. Vet fees can be expensive, sometimes amounting to a staggering sum, depending on what your furry friend needs to get back to full form. Investing in puppy insurance gives you peace of mind, knowing you’ll be able to claim to meet the cost of any treatment.
The cheapest insurance won’t always provide the best cover for your puppy, so work through the following steps to help decide:
Decide what policy features you need such as covering your pup for illness or accidents, or overseas cover if you plan to travel with them
Insurers often offer a discount of between 5% and 10% if you insure more than one pet, so take advantage and insure your pets together
Paying a higher excess usually means you will be rewarded with a lower premium. Just make sure you can afford the excess in the event of a claim

Some pet insurance providers will offer additional policy features for your puppy, such as dental cover or alternative therapy treatments
It can often work out cheaper to pay for your policy upfront rather than in monthly installments

You may be surprised to hear that where you live can also have an affect on how much you pay for puppy insurance. This is primarily because the cost of vet treatment varies from place to place.
The breed of your puppy can affect your insurance quote. That’s because some breeds are more prone to illnesses and health conditions, meaning insurers see them as more of a risk. Pedigree dogs are often more expensive to insure than hybrid or mixed-breed dogs.
Puppy insurance policies don’t tend to cover vaccinations. Under some policies, you can opt to have preventative or routine care cover (that can include vaccinations) up to a limit, but this will cost more.
Multi pet insurance policies are available and can sometimes make your premium slightly cheaper.
