Insuring Older Pets
Nearly every pet insurance provider I've reviewed will insure your cat or dog from the age of 8 weeks old. Fewer however, will cover pets older than 8-10 years.
Maybe you haven't felt the need to take out pet insurance before and the years have rolled on and it's only now, with so many great policies on the market, that you've started to consider the benefits.
So if you have a pet who's getting on in years you'll be limited to who you can get cover with. For example, Pet Guard won't cover dogs older than 8 years or cats who are older than 10 years.
Others will stipulate that there is no upper age on vetinary treatment but what if your cat or dog needs more than that?
Two of the least ageist Pet Insurance providers are PDSA and LV (Liverpool & Victoria) Pet Insurance. Below you can read a little more about the PDSA's policy.
PDSA - No Upper Age Limit
With such an incredible reputation who better could provide the neccessary insurance to cover your beloved pet cat or dog?
Petsurance is PDSA's own affordable, top-quality pet insurance, underwritten by AXA Insurance UK and as well as protecting your own pet you are helping PDSA to treat sick and injured pets, as 20% of the premium goes back to the charity.
One of the great things about PDSA Insurance is that your pet only has to be 8 weeks old to get covered and there is no upper limit on the age of the animal to qualify for treatment or a claim.
