What are the main types of dog insurance?

The main types of pet insurance are split into four main categories:

• Accident only: this covers any accidental injuries.
• Time limited: this means each condition will be covered to its maximum value. But the condition will be excluded following a claim and noted as ‘pre-existing’ after a year.
• Maximum benefit: each condition will be covered to its maximum value, but the condition will be excluded and noted as ‘pre-existing’ once the limit has been reached.
• Lifetime: this is usually the most expensive insurance. Lifetime cover may be worthwhile if your dog develops a long-term condition that requires regular treatment.

Why is my beagle more expensive to insure than other dogs?

Pedigree dogs can be more expensive to insure as they can be affected by specific health conditions. Beagles, for example, are prone to epilepsy. Insurers will factor this into your premium. Research by Which? found that some pedigree breeds can cost significantly more to insure.

Is there anything that isn’t covered?

Pre-existing medical conditions won’t be covered. Treatment relating to a dog’s pregnancy or birth won’t be included. Neutering is not generally covered. Regular treatments to control fleas or worms won’t be included. Vaccinations usually aren’t included either.

Could I self-insure for emergencies instead?

Some dog owners decide to save on pet insurance and put some money aside for emergencies instead. There may be problems with this approach if you don’t save enough. If your dog is seriously ill or involved in a major accident, you may have vet bills that run into hundreds or even thousands of pounds. If you have beagle pet insurance then this helps protect you and your dog whatever happens.

Will my beagle need a microchip?

Yes. UK dog owners are legally obliged to chip their dogs. This means a lost or stolen dog can be identified more easily. If you don’t microchip your beagle, your policy may be invalidated.

What is co-insurance?

Co-insurance is where the insurer and the policy holder agree to spread the cost of any treatment between themselves. This might be useful if your premium has risen because your dog has aged and the premium has increased.
