Compare Insure Your Paws pet insurance policies
Insure Your Paws offers three types of pet insurance policies:
- Accident Only cover – depending on the vet fee limit that you choose, you can get up to a maximum of £2,000 for each covered accidental injury including any illness caused by the accident for up to 12 months, subject to you renewing your policy and paying premiums on time.
- Maximum Benefit cover – you can get up to a maximum of £6,000 for each covered illness or injury, subject to you renewing your policy and paying premiums on time. Once you’ve reached the vet fee limit, any condition you’ve previously claimed for will no longer be covered.
- Lifetime cover – depending on the vet fee limit you select, lifetime cover can provide cover for veterinary fees up to a maximum of £10,000 per policy year for all new covered illnesses or injuries. As long as you renew your policy and pay premiums on time, your pet will be covered for long-term or recurring illnesses for the length of the policy.

Frequently asked Questions
Insure Your Paws provides pet insurance cover for cats and dogs. To start your policy, your pet must be older than eight weeks and younger than eight years of age for dogs and 10 years for cats.
Insure Your Paws offers three different policy types for cats and dogs. Accident Only, which covers accidents up to 12 months, Max Benefit, which covers illness and injury up to the maximum vet fee limit, and Lifetime policies, which covers your pet up to the vet fee limit for all insured illnesses and injuries per policy year.
Insure Your Paws provides cover for a pet who has previously suffered from illness or injury. However, any injury, illness or condition diagnosed before the policy was taken out will not be covered and will be excluded from your terms of cover as a pre-existing condition.
While there is no time limit for assessing your claim, Insure Your Paws advise you to complete the claim form as soon as possible with your vet for a quick and easy transaction. They also aim to assist you with your claim every step of the way, by phone or by mail.
