Dog and Puppy Insurance
We know your dog is an important member of your family. Give them the protection they deserve with one of the four Tesco Bank Pet Insurance levels of cover.
Dogs, like humans, are more prone to illness and ailments as they get older. A claim being paid also increases the chance that a future claim will be made and will therefore also cause your renewal price to increase. Even if you haven’t made a claim on your policy, new developments in diagnosis and treatments have meant that vets can give them even better care, which is great news for your family pet but means an increase in vet costs.
If while insured with Tesco Bank, 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 Tesco Bank Pet 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.

Important information
Pet Travel Cover
Travelling with your pet
The United Kingdom Government Pet Travel Scheme (also known as PETS) allows you to take your pet temporarily to certain countries and return to the UK without the hassle of putting them into quarantine.
Tesco Bank Pet Insurance offers Pet Travel Cover with the Standard, Extra or Premier cover levels, when you travel to any country covered by the PETS scheme. It will cover you for repeating a worming treatment or emergency vet fees abroad. We'll also pay if you lose your pet passport, or it is stolen or destroyed or if the microchip fails and you have to put them into quarantine. The Accident and Injury cover level doesn't include this cover.
Lost Pet cover
Cover for lost or missing pets
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 dog 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.
