Cats provide companionship and entertainment in equal measure, making them an important part of your family. Keep them protected with Cat Insurance from Tesco Bank. We've got four cover levels and extra features to help give you peace of mind:
It's important you budget for renewal prices to increase as your pet gets older.
Accident Only - There are a number of reasons including new developments in diagnosis and treatment which have meant vets can give pets even better care, which is great news for your pet but means an increase in vet costs. There is no limit to how much your renewal price can increase over time.
Standard, Extra, Premier - Like us, as pets get older, sadly they're more likely to get ill. In fact, our claims data shows that the cost of looking after you're pet's health doubles every four to five years. That's why your renewal price increases each year.
A claim being paid also increases the chance that a future claim will be made and can therefore also cause your renewal price next year to double.
How much they go up is different for everyone and depends on things like your pet's breed, their age and health, and there is no limit to how much your renewal price can increase over time.
If while insured with Tesco Bank Pet Insurance, your pet starts to develop an ongoing illness, like diabetes or arthritis, or a reoccurring illness like an ear infection you may find it difficult to get those things covered elsewhere and it can be harder to insure older pets. But rest assured, as long as you renew your policy and there is no break in cover you’ll be covered up to the vet fees limit you’ve chosen.
Please note in exceptional circumstances we may choose not to offer renewal. But don’t worry, if that’s the case we will let you know in advance of your renewal date.

We appreciate that your cat is a big part of your family. That's why we also offer lifetime Premier Pet cover to help keep them covered for years to come. It comes with vet cover limits up to £10,000, which resets each year (if you pay your premium and continue to renew your policy). Please note: in exceptional circumstances we may choose not to offer renewal. But don't fret, if that's the case, we'll let you know in advance of your renewal date.
Balancing the right protection for your pet with the ongoing cost of pet insurance can be tricky. That’s why we’ve got a range of cover levels to choose from. Our comparison tables should help you compare our four cover levels, and make it easy to get an overview of what Tesco Bank Pet Insurance offers.
If your pet goes missing, the Standard, Extra and Premier cover levels of Tesco Bank Pet Insurance will cover your advertising costs up to £1,000, including a reward of up to £200. If the worst happens and your cat isn't found within 45 days, we’ll also cover what you paid or donated when you bought them, up to a cost of £1,500.
Please read the policy documents to make sure that the cover level you've selected meets your needs.
The policy booklet also contains information on cancellation rights.
