Insurance extras

Alongside cover for injuries or illnesses, pet insurance might include many extras to look after your furry friends:

• Accidental death - pets are priceless but insurance can pay out if they go missing, are stolen or are fatally hurt in an accident.
• Third party liability insurance (dogs only) - pays towards compensation and costs awarded against the owner by a court if your dog causes death or injury to a person, or causes damage to someone else's property.
• Theft or straying - pays towards advertising and often includes reward. If your pet isn't found, then there is usually a set amount towards your pet's purchase price.
• Hospitalisation of owner - cost of boarding fees if you have to go into hospital for emergency treatment.
• Pays a set amount if you have to cancel or cut short your holiday or if your pet goes missing or needs emergency life-saving treatment.
• Overseas travel including emergency expenses cover whilst abroad and cover for the loss of your pet's passport.
