How to Go Compare ?
You can find the right insurance cover for your animal friend on our website by following some simple steps. To begin, you need some basic details about your pet. These include the animal’s gender, breed, age and how much you donated or paid for them. Apart from this, you have to provide information on whether your animal friend have been chipped, spayed or neutered.
First decide on the type of policy ?
Dog and other pet insurance falls into 4 categories
Accident only is the Cheapest
- Often costing less than £5 a month, it is designed to help if your dog needs a vet's attention as a result of an accident - but it won't pay out for illnesses
Per condition dog insurance
This is a step up with the selling point is that it is time constrained, but in the other hand it comes with a cap on the total amount that can be claimed for any one medical condition, Expect caps to range from GBP4,000 to GBP 8,000 and occasionally higher, again pay attention to the small print. It does work out more expensive than the Time Limited policy type.
Time limited dog cover
Whilst basic it does provide some much needed financial help with the Vet's bills if your dog or cat needs short term treatment. The nice thing about this type of protection is that costs are normally cover for a full 12 month period. On the downside this over will not pay put for the same illness within the 12 month period ie if it recurs.
Lifetime dog Cat or Rabbit Cover
Being the most expensive on offer it is also the most comprehensive cover that is currently available. As it says on the tin it covers any vet treatments for the lifetime of the pet , but it does come with a cap which does vary so again please read the policy for full details. The costs can range from GBP 13 to over GB80 per month. Standard terms are used within the industry to describe this product so look out for "Covered for Life", " Lifelong" and "Long Term Cover" ( John Lewis)

Are all pets Equal? Not in the Insurance World ?

Sex Matters
insurance for male dogs (even if they have been neutered or spayed) is a little more expensive than the female equivalaent
Cross Breeds
The premium for example a Cockapoo or a Labradoodle will be determined by the dominant breed and varies slight across breeds
Toy Dogs
These breeds typified by the Chihuahua, Yorkshire terrier and the ever present Shih Tzu can be insured on time limited plan from GBP5.79 per month
Working Breeds
This category includes the beagle, Jack Russell are hard animals and this is reflected in a reduced premium similar to that of a small doggy.
Larger
Breeds in this category include the german Shepard, Boxer, Dalmatian and Siberian Huskies and attract a hefty premium , so expect to pay GBP11 plus per month.
Tendancy
Some breed have a tendency to develop conditions that are specific to the breed the bulldog being a good example.

What Does Pet Insurance Cover?
The NHS does not offer protection for animals. This means you will have to pay any bills from out of your pocket in case your companion gets ill, has an accident or is injured. These costs can be taken care of by taking out proper animal vet protection.
There are different types of policies available in the market today. The policies also come with some extras. For example, some policies provide cover if your dog or cat goes missing. Depending with the provider you choose, the cover could be a one-off payment up to an agreed limit if your furry friend is not found. The payment can also cover the costs of offering a reward to people to encourage them to find your lost friend or the costs of advertising. Some covers include third party liability, should your pet cause an accident or injure someone else.
However, if your dog,cat or rabbit has a pre-existing condition, the condition is unlikely to be covered by your policy if you move providers. The same also applies to routine trips to the vet for things such as vaccinations and neutering. For other lifestyle cover options click here.
