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
