Why do you need pet insurance?
According to the Association of British Insurers, the average pet insurance claim in 2021 was £848. Although this figure is an average for all pets, whether you own a cat, dog or horse, the cost of vet treatment can vary significantly, from a few hundred pounds for a one-off injury through to thousands for an ongoing condition.
As vet treatment becomes more sophisticated the cost of treatment rises. If your pet has an accident, injury or illness and requires veterinary care, you can then claim back the cost of treatment covered by your policy – minus any excess.
Many of our policies also provide additional benefits such as cover if your dog is stolen or goes missing, or if they injure someone or damage their property, providing you with extra protection and assistance. Find out more about these benefits in our policy terms and conditions.
Without insurance you may face tough decisions about supporting your pet's health due to cost. Once your pet is covered you can relax knowing that if you get an unexpected veterinary bill you can get them treated, without having to worry about how you are going to afford to pay for it. In most cases your vet can claim on your behalf too so you won't need to fill in any forms.
If you own a dog or cat, you can also get access to free veterinary advice through the Joii app, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
