Why Have Pet Health Care Insurance?

Ownership of a dog or cat brings huge rewards, but also brings responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is to be sure that you are able to provide the very best health care for your pet. Another is to protect yourself and your family from unexpected expensive veterinary bills. Fortunately, you can take care of both commitments by insuring your pet with Pet-ID Pet Health Care Cover. By choosing the level of cover you require, the policy can be tailored to your particular circumstances.

Two out of three pets need veterinary attention every year. Sometimes this involves an operation or a period of intensive treatment. Veterinary fees are unfortunately continuing to rise at a faster rate than general inflation.

A typical premium for a 1year old crossbreed dog in London is £7.80 per month and only £5.79 per month for a 7-year-old non-pedigree Cat in Birmingham.

A sample of claims received:

  • £150 - treatment after swallowing grass seed.
  • £280 - x-rays and treatments following a road accident.
  • £4,173 - for major surgery following hip dysplasia.

 

Typical Health Care Case Histories

A leading veterinary surgeon, comments:

“Routine operations, such as; Dog spinal surgery costs £800; and a cat’s injuries suffered in a road traffic accident (fractured jaw and fractured right elbow) costs £750 - are all typical examples of a vet’s day-to-day workload. For many pet owners who do not have pet health care insurance, these routine operations can prove to be very costly.”

 

Why Choose Pet-ID Insurance?

Pet-iD Health Care Cover is much fairer than the competition as it treats every owner/animal as an individual.

Our system considers you and your pet along with certain other key details. You do not have to pay a higher premium to subsidise other pet owners. Other  companies charge their customers the same price irrespective of where they live, breed or the age of their pet - this isn’t fair. You wouldn't expect a 17-year-old living in London, driving a sports car to pay the same insurance premium as a 45-year-old living in Cornwall driving a saloon. 

Pet-ID Pet Health Care Cover offers a complete selection of cover, put together into three simple options: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Once insured your pet's cover can be renewed each year for the life of your pet.

 

Ways to meet your budget...

  • Reduce your premium 10% by increasing the standard excess on veterinary claims to £75.
  • Or reduce your premium by 15% replacing the excess with co-insurance on veterinary claims. You would be responsible for 10% of the veterinary claims subject to a minimum £35.
