Because pet insurance should do more for you

With household costs high, and advances in technology meaning that more sophisticated pet healthcare treatments are available, pet-savvy parents across the UK are looking for more opportunities to help save money when it comes to caring for their furry-family member. Animal Friends Insurance and Costco Wholesale UK, the membership warehouse club have come together in a collaboration to make day-to-day care and when something goes wrong more affordable.

This exciting new partnership will see Animal Friends Pet Insurance help Costco members get greater access to affordable protection for their pets through a unique rewards initiative. Offering five different types of pet cover, ranging from £1,000 to £18,000, Costco standard members will receive a £25 voucher* to spend in one of their 29 UK warehouses when they take out their first Animal Friends policy, and their Executive members will receive a £55 voucher*.

Dog and cat owner Costco members that take out an Animal Friends policy will also get free access to their online veterinary partner, Joii Pet Care. This 24/7 service combines the best of traditional veterinary practice with modern technology to provide essential support that suits the owner and their pet, with 67% of all cases seen online treated effectively without needing to leave the house.

Westley Pearson, CEO at Animal Friends Insurance added, “We are delighted to be able to partner with Costco and offer meaningful pet insurance that goes above and beyond providing protection for pets. With more than half the pet owners in the UK still without pet insurance² and household budgets being squeezed more than ever by the rising cost of living, few pet owners could afford to pay large, unexpected vet bills if their beloved companion suddenly became ill. That’s why we are excited to have the opportunity to help provide, not only vouchers to put towards spend within Costco, but also great pet insurance to its members.”

Sue Knowles, Marketing Director at Costco Wholesale UK Ltd said, “We are very pleased to introduce Animal Friends Pet Insurance to our members, a quality company offering great member service with multiple choice of insurance policies to suit our member's pet insurance needs.”
