Insurance products by Agria

Lifetime dog insurance

Agria offers lifetime coverage as standard — this ensures your dog is covered for accidents and illnesses as long as the policy remains active. A lifetime policy provides owners with a level of security and comfort that may not be present on different policies, such as time-limited pet insurance.

Comprehensive cover for illnesses or conditions arising during the policy year.
Free 24/7 access to expert veterinary advice via video calls.
Up to £1,500 towards finding your lost pet, including advertising and reward costs.
Coverage for visits to a certified behavioural specialist for issues such as barking or destructive chewing.

Flexible levels of cover for your pet

Customers can choose from four levels of lifetime cover:

Lifetime Lite: vet fees covered up to £3,000 per year
Lifetime: vet fees covered up to £6,500 per year
Lifetime Plus: vet fees covered up to £12,500 per year
Lifetime Premium: vet fees covered up to £20,000 per year

Will making a claim affect my premium?

No, Agria stands out by not increasing your premium due to claims. They believe this approach encourages pet owners to seek veterinary care when needed, without worrying about rising costs.

Are there any exclusions?

Agria won’t cover treatment for:

Illnesses and injuries that first showed signs before the policy began
Illness that occurs in the first 10 days of your policy
A recurrence of a pre-existing condition or illness
Vaccine-preventable conditions

Making a claim

Lodging a claim as an Agria pet insurance policy holder is intuitive and easy. They offer multiple ways to claim: through the vet directly, online, by post, or pre-authorised.

The process starts with obtaining the claim form from Agria’s website. You can either get the vet to fill it out, or do it yourself. Here’s what will need to be included in the claim:

1. Veterinary history

Upon making your first claim, Agria requires a full clinical history for your pet from all vets past and present.
2. Vet assessment

A breakdown of what treatment was provided to your pet, along with invoices for the treatment date(s) you’re claiming.

The claims admin team will then assess your claim to verify all of the necessary documentation has been provided. In most cases, claims are processed within ten business days, and you can expect reimbursement within five days of the claim being finalised.

Other things to consider

Changes to your premium

Several factors can influence the cost of your pet insurance premium when you first take out a policy with Agria. These include:

Age: younger pets often have lower premiums due to fewer health issues.
Breed: some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions, which can impact costs.
Location: veterinary fees vary by region, affecting premium costs.
Coverage level: more extensive coverage results in a higher premium.

Agria’s premiums are fixed for the first 12 months of your policy, and they’re reviewed annually. However, claiming on your policy won’t result in your premium being updated — that’s a core part of Agria’s service. The premium may change for certain specific reasons:

Changes in the overall costs required to run the business.
Adjustments based on claims performance and scheme evaluation.
Alterations to your circumstances, such as change of address or the age of your pet.
Any updates to the Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) rate.

Payment options

Agria provides flexible payment methods, allowing you to pay for the policy in one lump sum, or spread the cost across monthly instalments.

Breaking down insurance excess

The excess is the amount you’re responsible for paying towards each claim you make. You’ll choose your excess amount when assembling your policy, and the general rule of thumb is the higher the excess, the lower the policy cost overall.

A fixed excess is the amount you’ll pay once per policy year for each condition your pet is treated for. The percentage or variable excess is applied after the fixed excess is subtracted, along with any other relevant deductions from your claim.

Contact Agria

If you want to speak to a member of the Agria team about a new policy, you can contact them on 03330 30 10 00. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm.
