Having Petplan insurance allows you to budget monthly rather than having to cover the cost of unexpected veterinary bills. Did you know that more people claim against their pet insurance policy than on their household or car insurance? (Allianz Insurance plc) This just goes to show how important it is to ensure that your best friend has the best possible pet insurance on the market.

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.

Petplan offers two types of [pet insurance](https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-insurance/) policies: Covered For Life® pet insurance policies and a 12-month pet insurance policy. Covered For Life® policies provide cover for ongoing illnesses such as diabetes for the duration of your pet's life as long as you renew your policy each year without a break in cover. Petplan's 12-month pet insurance product is for owners requiring a less comprehensive policy for their cat or dog. It is important to remember that under a 12-month policy each illness and injury will only be covered for either 12-months, or up to the maximum benefit, whichever is reached first. Should your dog or cat suffer from the same condition again you will not be able to claim for it.

At Petplan we like to be as clear as possible to our customers, therefore any exclusion from cover placed on your policy will be stated clearly on your Certificate of Insurance. Before taking out your dog, cat or rabbit insurance you must tell us about your pet's conditions and any prior illnesses or injuries they've had. Like most other pet insurance companies, illnesses and injuries experienced before you start your pet's insurance will unfortunately not be covered. Your pet's previous medical history will not affect your premium. When you take out a policy you should always check your terms and conditions in conjunction with your Certificate of Insurance to see what is and what is not covered.

Covered For Life® products are not for everyone, which is why Petplan created the Petplan Essential policy so that pet owners requiring a less comprehensive policy could still benefit from having their cat, dog or rabbit insured with the UK's No. 1 pet insurance provider. It is important to remember that each illness and injury on a Petplan Essential policy is covered for a maximum of 12 months. Should your dog or cat suffer from the same condition again you will not be able to claim for it. With Covered For Life ® you will continue to be covered so long as you renew your policy each year without a break in cover. It's always important to think carefully about what level of cover you would like before taking out a policy.
