Tips

A recent magazine article entitled ’101 reasons to insure your pet’ demonstrated quite vividly just how important it is to make sure our furry, four legged friends are well insured in the event of a doggy disaster or cat related catastrophe.

Pet insurance policies can cost as little as £8.00 per month for a dog and £5.00 per month for a cat.

With an average canine lifespan of 13 years, that’s just over £1,300 for the whole of a dog’s life – a serious tumour could end up costing well in advance of £2,500 for proper treatment.

Pet insurance is one of the fastest growing industries in the financial services sector and UK pet insurance is more competitive than ever.

The UK pet insurance sector is now overloaded with pet insurance companies, supermarkets, food manufacturers and pet insurance brokers offering you ‘the best deal’ in pet insurance. The days of just a few specialist companies offering pet cover are long gone as big business realises the value of the UK pet insurance market.

At Insurance4Pets.com we thought pet owners could benefit from our in depth knowledge of the UK pet insurance market which is why we publish these pet insurance advice pages and more importantly pet insurance reviews and pet insurance comparisons.
