Most policies will have an excess applicable when you make a claim and some may include an additional percentage of the claim. So read the small print and wording so that you understand what you’re paying for. Some policies have exclusions such as conditions your pet might have prior to the start of the policy. It really is worth shopping around and comparing the wording. Speak to other pet owners who have taken out insurance and experienced making claims for their pet. Whichever company and policy level of cover you choose it is well worthwhile to have your pet microchipped and for them to be neutered. Unwanted litters can cause a lot of distress. One pet insurance scheme is offered by the PDSA veterinary charity which of course benefits its national welfare work by ploughing in the policy profits to help needy families seeking treatment for their pets.

He was terrified and was cowering in the corner screaming. Our team bought him to our facility where as well as being in an awful condition, he had emotionally shut down due to everything he had been through. After a lot of love and attention he transformed into such a happy little puppy and has flown back from Borneo to the UK to live with me in Haddenham!! Louis is one of many dogs we rescue and care for and we have many more who would love the opportunity to find a caring family. We are therefore looking to find homes for some of our dogs in the UK and it would be great if some of your readers were interested We are also trying to promote our facebook page www.facebook.com/iapwa so people can keep up to date with our work. On behalf of Louis, the other Borneo dogs and the team, I hope you will help us to promote Louis’s story and help to find some of our dogs good homes. email: [email protected] | www.hiyabucks.com 21
