Even though many people think that pet insurance is required only when their pets get older, an industry expert has suggested it is necessary even for very young animals .
Chris Price, head of pet insurance for Churchill, said that by getting their animals insured when they were still young, people could actually save themselves money . He explained that many insurers would only offer new policies for dogs under the age of eight and cats that were under 10 years old.
Taking out cover as soon as possible will ensure that animals are covered for any unforeseen circumstances, such as an accidental injury . Mr Price added: "Like people, as pets get older, long term illnesses such as heart and kidney problems arise. This is the reason many insurers will not start to insure pets of an older age. However, once a pet is insured with a company they are likely to insure the pet for its lifetime."
