It is estimated that one in three pets needs veterinary
treatment at least once a year, according to the Pet Health Council.
With treatment costing anywhere from £25
for a single consultation to thousands of pounds for complicated
or ongoing conditions such as diabetes, skin disease or hip dysplasia,
can you afford not to insure your pet?
At Thameswood we suggest that every pet dog, cat
or rabbit is insured to ensure that they can receive the best possible
care that we can provide. Puppies and kittens are often eligible for a month of free insurance following their first vaccination with us.
We are appointed representatives for PetPlan, the
leading companion animal insurer in the UK. Under the new FSA rules
this means that we can sell their insurance policies and take payments
directly from the company. For more information on Petplan please
visit their website: www.petplan.co.uk
Petplan policies offer cover for life – this
means that they will never exclude a condition (unless some so-called
‘twelve month’ policies), and the money available to
treat the insured animal is renewed every policy year. As such,
ongoing conditions like epilepsy and arthritis will continue to
be covered for the rest of the animal’s life, provided that
the condition did not start within fourteen days of the policy being
taken out.
We are happy to complete the veterinary section
of claims forms for other insurance companies for you, but regret
that we are unable to accept direct payments from them and will
require payment in full at the time of treatment.
