Advantages Your pet is covered for injuries

Disadvantages Not covered for disasters in your own home

I would just like to recommended this insurance, as I find this is one of the best companies for pets.
I have insured pets with the RSPCA for some time and I find that they are helpful, polite and informative about most questions that you have concerning your pet. When you insure your pet for the first time 5% of your premium each month is donated by UK Insurance Ltd to support RSPCA. (They are the company who provide this insurance.)
You have to provide them with all the relevant detail as in name of dog, age,type and how much you purchased it for. The policy covers you for
Veterinary fees:
They pay:-
£4,000 for each & every condition. But they will only pay for a condition up to 12 months.
Dental treatment for a dog over 18 weeks.
They wont pay for:
Vaccinations, nail clipping (vets usually do this for free)
Flea treatment (the best one Ive come across is Bob Martin)
Spaying or castration (ouch!!)
Pregancy treatment
Euthanasia, cremation and/or disposal in UK
Behaviour problems - training or therapy

They will reimburse you if your animal has a accidental death. (You have to have a receipt for how much you paid for your animal)

Theft/ Straying: RSPCA will reimburse you a limit of £500 towards local advertising (reward must not exceed £50) If the animal is not recovered inside 45 days they will reimburse you the purchase price.
You have to contact the police for a dog and the vets for a cat, as you have to produce evidence that your animal is lost.

Hospitalisation of owner. RSPCA will pay up to £500 towards the cost of boarding for your animal.

Reimbursing for holiday cancellation
If you have to cancel your holiday because your animal needs life saving treatment or becomes lost. You will get up to £1000 back for non recoverable expensives.

Third Party Liability
If your dog attacks a person outside your family or destroys someone elses property. And you become liable to pay, RSPCA will pay all but £250 towards each and every claim.

You also get free access to their pet advice lines which you can use 24 hours a day. 365 days a year.
There is also a pet bereavement counselling and a legal advice line.

I have used this insurance when my dogs eye popped out, we got her to a vet inside 1 hour. Operated on that same day and took her home the following day.
Her tablets and eye drops got put on top of the bill and all we paid was £45 - the bill come to £210.
It gives you peace of mind and the knowledge that you dont have to find a lot of money if your pet is involved in a accident. This might not agree to everyone, but pet insurance is a thing you should think about having.

    This is a very well written and informative review and would probably be of more help to me if i wasn't such a "weirdo". You see, I have reptiles which most insurance companies won't cover and your review didn't mention it probably because they only gave you info on your pet. It was good though and I never thought of trying them before so now I'll give it a go. Thanks!
