Pet insurance can help you pay for your pet’s medical bills and other expenses having to do with owning a pet. Multi-pet insurance allows you to cover more than one pet under one policy. Not only does this save you the hassle of dealing with the paperwork for each pet, most insurers offer discounts when you insure more than one pet.
Multi-pet insurance works just like single pet insurance, except that it allows you to cover more than one pet on the same policy. If you get an additional pet in the future, you can easily add the new pet to your existing policy.
Most insurance providers offer discounts that can go a long way in saving you money. While the discount may vary from provider to provider, it can be in the form of a percentage discount — usually 5 to 10 percent or a set amount for each pet you add to the policy.
The number of pets you can insure differs with each insurer. While there is normally no maximum limit, some insurers don’t offer a discount, requiring each pet to be on its own policy; and some only offer a flat, one-off discount for more than one pet. Some insurers tend to limit the number to between 6 and 10 pets. Ideally, you should look for an insurer that offers a discount per additional pet, which can add up to real savings on your premiums.
You can get pet insurance for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and exotic pets, like reptiles, tortoises or parrots. Most insurers will only cover dogs and cats, but some insurers offer exotic pets insurances for rare birds or reptiles, which you’ll have to get separately.
Vet fees
Pet insurance allows you to claim the cost of veterinary treatment during the term of your policy. Most policies cover treatment resulting from the following:
Some policies may even offer coverage for extra treatment your pet may need following an accident or injury. This could include the following:
Death of your pet
Some insurers can cover you if your pet dies or needs to be euthanised due to illness or injury.
It’s always a good idea to check the terms of your policy as some insurers may not cover your pet after it passes a certain age. For example, in the case of cats or dogs, eight years old is the age at which most insurers don’t cover pets.
Lost and found cover
multi-pet insurance can cover the purchase price of your pet if they go missing as a result of theft or straying. This can even cover the cost of advertising if your pet is lost as well as any reward offered to the person who finds it.
However, you must report your pet missing to the police, and most insurers then pay out if they are not found within 30 days of being reported.
Third party liability
This coverage only applies to dogs and will cover you in the event that your dog causes damage to someone else’s property or causes someone to be killed or injured.
If someone is seriously injured or killed by your dog and you are taken to court, it could cost you hundreds of thousands of pounds, so look for policies with a high level of cover.
