Question 3

On your Essential cover, when does the 12 month claiming period start?

Accepted Answer

Our Essential policy covers each illness or injury for up to 12 months from when your pet starts treatment.

For example, if you had 12 month cover for your pet starting in August, and he/ she then developed diabetes, starting treatment in February, you can claim for their treatment for this condition until February of the following year (12 months) providing you renew your policy and continue paying your premiums. After this time, all cover for diabetes will stop and this condition will be excluded from your policy.

Question 4

Where did the concept of pet insurance originate?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Why do I need pet insurance?

Accepted Answer

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.
