How Lifetime Pet Insurance Works 

Purchasing lifetime pet insurance cover means that you will have financial protection against the cost of potentially very expensive vet treatments for your animal, for their whole life. It works in the following way:

• Your insurer will usually implement a claim limit (typically £10,000 – £12,000) to help cover the vet fee costs should your pet become ill or injured.
• The claim limit amount will renew annually, so you can receive cover for any condition that your pet could suffer from during this time
• Your pet will receive cover till they die, providing you keep up with insurance payments.

How to Find the Best Lifetime Pet Insurance Cover

It is worth considering the following points when deciding to purchase a lifetime pet insurance policy:

• If at all possible, aim to buy the policy whilst your animal is still young and healthy as it can become harder to get cover as they get older and have more conditions
• Consider how much cover you would need for the animal you have (e.g £10,000 per year)
• Think about the potential costs you might need for your pet’s death, theft, third party liability and any boarding fees
• Always compare quotes for lifetime pet insurance policies that have the cover you require
• Check for exclusions, since some insurers may not cover certain dog breeds or cats when they are 8 years or over. See cat insurance for more information.
