Policy Benefits
Two levels of cover: Standard and Lifetime♦
Choosing the right insurance policy can be confusing, so we’ve made it simple with just two levels of cover - Standard and Lifetime.
- Standard: is Non-Lifetime cover giving you 12 months cover from the date the symptoms first displayed.
- Lifetime: means you are insured for ongoing or repeat treatment for life up to the policy limit as long as the policy is renewed and premium payments are up to date.
Better still, if you insure more than one pet on a multi-pet policy we will give you a further 10% off your premium and you can even mix and match Standard and Lifetime cover for different pets.
