Pet insurance, common questions
What is pet insurance?+
Pet insurance helps cover unexpected vet bills if your dog or cat is ill or injured. Policies vary in what they include, the limits they set and the conditions they exclude.
What does lifetime pet insurance mean?+
Lifetime cover refreshes your vet fee limit each year you renew, so ongoing conditions can be claimed for year after year, subject to the policy terms and limits.
What should I check before buying pet insurance?+
Look at the cover type, annual vet fee limit, excess, any co-payment, waiting periods, dental cover and the list of exclusions, especially around pre-existing conditions.
Can Willow recommend a policy?+
No. Willow gives plain-English educational guidance to help you understand pet insurance. Willow does not give personalised financial advice or recommend a specific policy.
Is ClearPetCover independent?+
Yes. ClearPetCover provides independent educational information for UK pet owners. It is not a price comparison site and does not sell insurance.
