What are the different types of puppy insurance?

There are four main types of puppy insurance policies available:

  • Accident only

    This is the cheapest policy available and only covers treatment related to your pet having an accident, not illness

  • Time limited

    Time- limited policies usually run for 12 months and there’s usually a cost limit. They’re good for short-term illnesses and injuries

  • Maximum benefit

    This covers each new medical condition up to the cover limit, for as long as the policy runs

  • Lifetime

    The most comprehensive policy is lifetime, which if you renew each year will cover new and recurring conditions up to a cost limit
