What is puppy insurance?

For many of us, a new puppy instantly becomes a beloved part of the family. We know that you’d do all you can to care for your companion should they ever be feeling poorly, or just generally out of sorts. We also know that veterinary treatments can be costly. Pet insurance for puppies can offer financial protection against unexpected vet fees, should your puppy ever require medical care. However, the choice of pet insurance products can be bewildering, so researching the policy that’s right for you and your pup is important.

Is it worth getting puppy insurance?

Pet Insurance can be a huge help financially. Your gorgeous new puppy is a ball of boundless energy, and with this adventurous spirit comes the potential for accidents and injuries.

Pet owners typically claim on their pet insurance far more frequently than on their home or car insurance. On average, a Vetsure policy holder makes at least one claim every two years. You never know what may happen around the corner, so having your trusted pet insurance policy in place in times when your pup needs it the most makes it worthwhile. You don’t want to ever compromise on their health, so that’s why we offer three types of policies allowing you to find one that suits you and your new puppy best.

With Vetsure puppy insurance you can claim for an unlimited number of conditions, provided they are not pre-existing. You also only need to pay your chosen excess amount ONCE per condition, which can be a massive help if your puppy is unfortunate enough to suffer from a long-term medical condition.

Remember, if you ever have any questions about your puppy insurance, we can help! We developed this table to show how likely it is that you’ll reach different limits within a policy year, if your pet becomes poorly and requires treatment.

We also have cat and multi-pet insurance if your puppy is part of a big family with other pets

What is covered with our insurance for puppies?

Our puppy insurance policies have been designed by vets to offer reassuring cover for the cost of accident and illness vet treatment, as well as cover against other incidents like theft, transportation for treatment, and rewards when lost. We also offer a range of optional covers including: public liability and a range of features that are beneficial if you take your pet abroad.

We have an Accident Only policy to cover against accidents and injuries and two Accident and Illness polices. Our Accident and Illness policies offer you the choice of two generous benefit limits for vet treatments. Both of these limits apply to each unrelated condition and recharge fully each time you renew – allowing you the freedom to claim against an unlimited number of different eligible conditions! Regardless of their age, pets should have protection to live their life to the fullest – which is why we also offer an Accident Only policy for dogs over ten. We also have a multi-pet insurance for those of you with multiple pets.

      For example, if a dog is unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with three unrelated conditions within the same policy year and was covered by a ‘Premier’ policy he would have up to £2,000 per condition per policy year – so, up to £6,000 Veterinary Fees benefit available per policy year for these three conditions.
