Dog Insurance - Our types of policy

Our 3 types of cover provide you and your dog with a flexible choice of protection that can suit your budget and the appropriate care for your dog because different people need different needs for a policy. Please see our policy comparison table below, to see the different cover options available

Lifetime dog insurance for example is considered the most comprehensive level of pet insurance. Lifetime will provide cover for ongoing conditions for the duration of the pets life as long as the policy is renewed. CMP levels of cover for £2,000, £5,000 and £10,000 limit on veterinary fees. This is essentially a pot of money, any vet fees you claim for during the policy years comes out of this pot and the pot refills when you renew.

Time limited dog insurance policies have a limit per condition and a limit on how long you can claim for a particular condition, whichever of these limits are reach first would mean that the condition would be excluded moving forward. With Cover My Pet we cover up to £3,000 or 12 months per condition, this can be split over 2 policy years if required (6 months from one and 6 months from another for example).

Max Benefit Dog Insurance provides a limit per condition, but no time limit on how long the condition can be claimed for as long as you continue to renew your policy.  Cover My Pet offer up to £4,000 per condition, once the £4,000 limit is reached the condition would be excluded moving forward.

For selected breeds of dog under 8 the fixed excess is either £50 or £100 and the % excess is 15%. (It will be clear during the application process whether your dog is one of the selected breeds where a 15% excess always applies)
