| Most
companies will offer an element of third party liability cover,
although this usually only applies to dogs. It covers any
damage they may cause to someone else or their property, which
you are legally liable for. For example, if your dog was to
get hit by a car, you'd have to cover the cost of your pet's
injuries, but you may also be liable to cover the cost of
damage to the car - which could run into thousands of pounds.

You
can also get cover if you and your pet are travelling abroad
under the Pet Travel Scheme. This may include the cost of
vets' fees abroad, quarantine kennelling in the event of the
pet's microchip failing, financial help if you lose your Pet
Health Certificate while you're away, and third party liability
cover abroad. |
Other
items may be covered by a pet insurance policy. These typically
include:
The
purchase price if your pet goes missing, is stolen, or is
fatally hurt in an accident
Money towards advertising and a reward if your pet goes
missing
Cover for boarding fees if you have to go into hospital
for a specified length of time
Cover if you have to cancel or cut short your holiday because
your pet goes missing or needs emergency treatment |
