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.

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.
