Pet Insurance Misconceptions Highlighted |
|
(15th May 2008)
Those considering protecting their animal with the best pet insurance deal may be interested to learn that 11 million pet owners have not taken out protection, according to research by Sainsbury's Finance.
Reasons offered by owners for their lack of insurance include claiming that their dog or cat is healthy, while 42 per cent said they did not think it was necessary.
Head of pet insurance at Sainsbury's Finance Steve Johnson explained: "Taking a gamble and waiting until the "healthy" animal becomes ill before thinking about cover is not an option as any ailment arising before a policy is in place will be excluded."
Mr Johnson added that the average trip to the vet could cost £300 - while one in 26 claims comes to over £1,000.
Pet owners could find they claim on their insurance policy because of the diet they feed their dog on. Insurance experts RIAS warned that over half of Britain's pets are overweight, which could led to health difficulties.
