Pet Insurance: Protect your beloved pet with a policy
Insurance is now available for your beloved pet as well. Pet insurance policy is primarily meant to provide protection to your pet. When your pet is sick or is met with an accident, you may face financial constraint whilst taking him to a vet. There is no second thought to the fact that Vet’s fees are expensive at times. What to do in such a scenario? Well, you can buy a pet insurance policy that can take care of the Vet’s fees.
The pet insurance policy, however, provides more than just covering the Vet’s fees. It will also take care of the advertising cost and reward prize money in the event of your pet being lost or stolen. That is not all. It will also provide cover up to some percentage of the purchase price pet if your pet dies of some illness or due to accident. But, remember, no insurance company will cover any condition (illness) that is pre-existing. Even any illness or disease that occurs during the first 10 days of your insurance cover is usually not covered. So, it is important to buy a policy when your pet is completely healthy to avoid any hassle later on.
Of many insurance companies in the UK, one that needs special mention is Churchill Insurance. It offers 10% discount when you buy the policy online. You can buy a policy for your cat for as little as £5 a month; the same can be taken for your dog for just £8.40 a month, inclusive of insurance premium tax.

I would also advise checking to see how the insurer pays the claims. When my Jack Russell needed an operation on her paw. I had to pay the vet directly there and then and then put a claim in to my insurance company. They did pay out quickly within anout two weeks, but this can be another thing to worry about in addition to stressing about my dog.
I know some pet insuers like www.healthy-pets.co.uk, provide the option of paying the vet direct or to you.
I guess it depends what the vet prefers.
