Insurance for dog

A lot of work is not covered. Tara my cat had around £700 of dental work carried out last year- extractions, and they were not covered on her insurance.

This has come up before on GN. There can be so many " if, but & maybe " exclusions, that many people decide to put aside some money each month for vet bills if they arise.

For regular costs, such as wormers or flea treatments, many vets offer an annual subscription scheme, which might be worth looking into.

You will get as many recommendations as there are companies. Does your vet recommend one? If so, I'd go with that. I believe Pet Plan are good, but expensive. My vet had a leaflet for insurance that seemed good, but at the moment I'm not sure whether I'll ever have another dog. So I'm fostering until the memory of losing my last dog fades. If ever.
USwitch and Compare the market do comparisons - might be a place to start.

Well we have a 10 year old Cairn. We are with PDSA, have the premium plan. Last year it was £50pm. We made extensive claims this winter to at least £4K.

It has gone up to £98 from June. But remember he will be 10 in June and has a potential recurring illness (gall bladder issues) so I was expecting a large increase. We have decided to accept it.
