Britain is known as a nation of animal lovers with its pet owners spending hundreds of millions of pounds each year on their pets. Most of these owners recognise that one of the most significant expenses they could face is that of veterinary fees.

Many of today's advanced veterinary treatments, although bringing very welcome benefits to sick or injured animals, can lead to a heavy financial burden on the owner.

No one wants to have to worry about the cost of vet bills. Accordingly there has been a big increase in the number of people taking out insurance to cover the potential costs. Responding to this need and to provide cover for possible expenses involved in pet ownership, a number of insurance companies have developed policies that provide cover against:

• Veterinary fees

• Expenses incurred in recovering lost animals

• Replacement costs in cases of accidental death

• Boarding kennel fees should the owner need to stay in hospital.

• Liability claims and legal costs for injury to third parties or damage to property caused by a pet.
