Not sure how much pet insurance cover you need?

We understand that pet insurance can be confusing, and most pet owners struggle to know how much cover they need for illnesses. With Vetsure you can claim against an unlimited number of conditions – you just choose how much vet fee cover you need per condition. But what if you don’t know?

The table below shows how likely it is that you’ll reach different limits within a policy year if your pet becomes poorly and requires treatment. It also shows the illness policy that’s required to cover the full cost of these treatments. Note that any amounts required for treatments above the level of pet insurance cover provided by the policy will need to be covered by you.

Note that the claim amounts here relate to either; a single claim OR multiple claims for the same condition within the same policy year. This data applies to Vetsure Pet Insurance only!
  • It’s not unusual for policyholders to make claims for multiple unrelated conditions which can make the total claim amount for vet fees per year much higher – not a problem with Vetsure illness cover – as you can claim for an unlimited number of conditions.
  • It’s also not unusual for policyholders to make claims for ongoing illnesses over many years – not a problem with Vetsure illness cover as Veterinary Fee benefit limits are fully reinstated each time you renew your policy.
  • There are many variables which will influence the cost of your insurance. Read our guide “How much does dog insurance cost” for more information.

Here are some real examples…

A dog is unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with three unrelated conditions within the same policy year; Diabetes, Cruciate Disease and Skin Disease.

It’s your choice
