Unfortunately there is no NHS service for animals and all pet healthcare has to be paid for privately. Taking out pet insurance means that you never have to worry about paying medical bills for your pet as the insurance company pays all but a small excess payment.
Ongoing medical problems or large orthopaedic procedures can run into thousands of pounds and may occur when you least expect it.
Pet health insurance starts from as little as £4 per month but do check that the policy that you choose provides the level of cover that you need.
