There are three different levels of cat insurance available. For the maximum cover available from Petplan, choose one of our Covered For Life® policies; Petplan Classic or Petplan Ultimate plan. These are designed for cat owners worried about their cat developing a long-term illness like arthritis or eczema, and needing ongoing treatment from a vet. Petplan Essential is designed for cat owners who want cover to provide help with the initial high cost of veterinary treatment but are happy to fund ongoing treatments for the same illness or injury themselves after the cover has finished.

Our Covered For Life ® policies are designed for pet owners concerned about their pet developing a long-term, chronic or recurring illness. We have cat insurance, dog insurance and rabbit insurance Covered For Life ® policies. These cover conditions such as arthritis or eczema which require treatment from a vet over a long period of time, often for life. As long as the Covered For Life ® policy is renewed each policy year without a break, we will continue to provide cover for new illnesses after the policy starts right into your dog, cat or rabbit's old age. Many other dog and cat insurance policies, including one of our own, Petplan Essential, will limit the amount and/or time you can claim for each illness of injury. It is definitely worth checking the small print before you buy so that you understand the terms, conditions and any excesses that apply.

Pet insurance started in the 1970s when just a small handful of providers existed. Then pet insurance became recognised and sought after which resulted in an increase in the number of players within the pet insurance market. Petplan, the market leader, was founded by Patsy Bloom who saw an opportunity in the market after facing mounting vet bills for her own dog´s illness. It wasn't long before pet insurance became recognised and sought after which resulted in an increase in the number of players within the pet insurance market.
