When your pet is ill, you don’t want to add to the worry by wondering how much the vet’s bills will be. That’s why Direct Line offers affordable, comprehensive pet health insurance, so if your pet falls ill you can rest assured that they will receive the best possible treatment. 

Direct Line has two levels of cover for your pet: Essential, which covers your pet for each new illness, injury or disease for 12 months, up to a maximum amount of £4,000. With Essential cover there’s no limit on the number of claims you can make up until the policy limit is reached. Or there’s Advanced cover, which covers your pet for each new illness, injury or disease to a maximum of £6,000. Under this policy there is no time limit on reaching the maximum amount.

We can also arrange to pay the vet directly, which means that you don’t have to worry about paying the vet’s bills at a time when you want to concentrate on your pet getting well again.

Both policies include unlimited access to three helplines (which are based in the UK) that offer advice 24 hours a day on how to find a vet, practical legal advice on pet-related problems and pet bereavement counseling.

Direct Line makes a good deal better by offering an online discount if you buy pet health insurance online and further discounts if you are insuring more than one pet. With cover starting from £6 a month for cats and £8 a month for dogs for our Essential cover (£8 and £11 pounds respectively for Advanced cover), it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind where a beloved pet is concerned.
