Does the policy cover physiotherapy for my senior dog?

Acupuncture, homeopathic or herbal medicines, hydrotherapy, laser treatment, physiotherapy and ultrasound are included for the treatment of a condition covered by your policy, if recommended by your vet. Limitations apply for hydrotherapy, please see the policy wording.

Does the policy cover prescription diet?
The veterinary fees section on the Time Limited, Maximum Benefit and Lifetime policies includes cover for prescription diet for the treatment to dissolve bladder stones or crystals in urine only. Limitations apply, please see the policy wording.

If my senior dog is not vaccinated can I still arrange cover?

Are there any treatments I am unable to claim for?
We will not pay for preventative, cosmetic and routine treatments as well as claims for any behavioural problems.

Am I able to claim for any dental treatment for my senior dog within this policy?
Routine treatment such as scaling, polishing teeth and the removal of deciduous teeth are not covered nor are any claims in respect of tooth or gum disease. However we would consider claims due to injury.

Would the policy cover if my dog has an accident a few days after buying the policy?
If you purchase the Lifetime Copper, Zinc, Titanium or Palladium policies, and your dog has an accident 48 hours after your policy starts, you can claim for vet’s fees, but any accidents in the first 48 hours are excluded. We do not cover any problem affecting the cruciate ligaments within 14 days of your policy starting. This includes any arthritis, illness or injury that develops from them.

Would the policy cover if my dog fell ill a few days after buying the policy?

Are there any breeds of senior dog you won't cover?
Yes. Please see our list of excluded breeds. All applications are subject to underwriting approval.

Can I insure a crossbreed or mongrel?
Yes. Simply select crossbreed or mongrel when going through the quote process.

What help will my policy offer if my senior dog is lost?
As part of your policy, we offer cover for advertising and reward to help with the cost of getting your dog back. If your dog is not found within 28 days of straying or being stolen from your address we will pay the price paid for the dog, less 50%, for a pet aged over 6 years or more. For neutered dogs up to the age of 6 years, we will pay the price paid for the dog, less 25%. If you are unable to prove a purchase receipt, you will receive a payment of £75.

If my senior dog has a condition which needs ongoing treatment, do I need to wait until the treatment has finished before I can make my claim?
No you do not have to wait, claims should be submitted as soon as the senior dog receives treatment.

My senior dog has suffered medical problems in the past, are you still able to offer me cover?
Yes, we can still insure your dog but you are obliged to inform us of any previous medical conditions your dog has suffered from in the past. We do not cover conditions that first showed clinical signs, happened or existed before the commencement date/time shown on your policy schedule. We do not cover illness or conditions that first showed clinical signs, happened or existed within the first 14 days of the policy inception. For Lifetime Copper, Zinc, Titanium and Palladium policies please note that we also do not cover any injuries displaying clinical signs within 48 hours of the policy inception, and do not cover any problem affecting the cruciate ligaments within 14 days of the policy inception. This includes any arthritis, illness or injury that develops from them. All applications are subject to approval.

What should I do if my senior dog is referred on to a specialist?
Please submit an additional claim form and invoices from the specialist.

Do you cover hereditary conditions?
Yes, as long as the condition doesn't first show clinical signs, happened or existed at the commencement date/time shown on your policy schedule or within the first 14 days of the policy inception.

Do you cover congenital conditions?
Yes, as long as the condition doesn't first show clinical signs, happens or exists at the commencement date/time shown on your policy schedule or within the first 14 days of the policy inception.
