Pet insurance

Some insurers only offer time-limited cover with their pet insurance policies. This means that if your pet develops a condition requiring long term treatment, vet's fees cover will stop at the end of the time limit, leaving you to cover the further costs of your pet's treatment.

There are a number of complementary therapies available for pets, which can make a real difference to their recovery. Check out if your pet insurer covers complementary therapies. AXA's pet policy does, for a wide range of complementary treatments including physiotherapy, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy.

AXA will also pay for the treatment of behavioural conditions, and cover the cost of a special diet for your pet if such a diet is recommended by your vet to treat a condition.

The vast majority of pet insurance policies do not cover the costs of cremating your pet if the worst has happened. AXA's pet insurance policy does cover cremation costs as a result of an accident or illness covered by the policy if these costs do arise.
