Why Buy Pet Insurance?
Many pet owners worry about the high cost of vets' fees and pet insurance gives them the peace of mind that their friend will be cared for through illness or injury. Sometimes pets fall ill and require treatment for several years; diabetes or arthritis are two examples where pet insurance would help with recurring costs.
Some people think about putting money aside each month instead of insuring; would this cover the vet's fees resulting from a catastrophic injury? What those people also forget is that they can be held legally liable for their pet's actions, especially in our "compensation culture"; that's why pet insurance includes generous levels of Public Liability cover - such claims can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Pet Insurance isn’t just a way to help pay the bills; it’s a safety net for you and your family to fall back on when times get tough and your pet has an accident or incident where veterinary treatment is needed, and it also means that you will not risk having to put your friend to sleep because of unaffordable vet bills that are just too steep for your family to afford.

In March 2008, Animal Friends Insurance won the PETA Proggy awards "Courage In Commerce". These awards mean so much to us, but we would never have received them if we weren’t so dedicated to worldwide animal charity support. Our drive comes from doing the right thing when it comes to protecting animals in need and your support is vital in this work.
