I am not sure but I think that you can have third party insurance with your house policy..but not 100% sure about it..<br />
And if you take out an ISA you can get some that have easy acess and you can get at your money straight away..so long as you put money in each month...but you would be doing that anyway. Some make good % return on them too...

Have to say I went with AVIVA in the end!.<br />
<br />
Googled - Pet life insurance - looked at them all and decided on AVIVA but as you all say it's a Lottery, may just stay with them for a year then set him up a bank account and as suggested third party insurance with PDSA or similar.

Ahh the friendly language of dog insurances.. Just to add that the pinnacle that Howard just suggested few minutes ago is helpucover (helpucover= pinnacle, indeed in the end we went with them after reading and comparing the Howard's past suggestions..)<br/>
<br/>
I dont know what is the Titre test, sorry... guess they really want your vet declares that the vaccination are updated..<br/>
<br/>
good luck !

Thanks Silvia. That makes it a lot clearer.<br />
I think so many of the terms etc are deliberately vague! Another point I have noticed is that they stipulate in their terms that the dogs vaccinations must be up to date, but no mention of the consequence should you choose to Titre test as an alternative.

I have just been sent my old girls new premium over £40 month and the other two are over £30 will do that for a few more months and then start putting the money into the ISA that I have taken out, it is extaution. And most of the treatments that you get at the vet are under the £75 exsess so you end up paying twice, only thing is that Jas now has cost thousands so perhaps I will get some of the 9 1/2 years paying in back. but I will still be paying 15% of anything that is done as well.

As I have said before try Pinnacle they have similar cover to Pet Plan but are cheaper. They have a maximum sum but it is for each year,as do Pet Plan.That is important if you have a dog that develops a life time condition such as diabetes.

Hi Cathy<br />
<br />
I would go for the premier, if any, but note that, even in that case, LV has a limit of 5000 per condition. It means that, just to make an example, if the dog develops a long term illness and you need medication, let's assume you spend 1000 £ per year, after the 5th year you cant claim on that condition anymore (nor open a new insurance since it would appear as a pre-existing condition..). Maybe is ok for you, I am just pointing this to your attention, just in case..<br />

sainsbury has a similar cover with a bit higher, 7500£ cap.<br />
I went for helpucover premier, that has not cup.. (25£ per month in our postcode..)<br />

Hello<br />
I have just had a quote from LV which gave me two options - 'essential' which only covers for treatment per condition for up to a year which was £12.50 per month or 'premier' which covers 'lifetime' treatment form just over £19 per month.

Anybody watched Watchdog on BBC TV this evening? It seems there are quite a lot of people not happy about the rising cost of pet insurance, and the difficulty with changing company if your dog has a pre-existing condition
