The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is a government scheme allowing pet animals to travel between specific countries and re-enter the UK without the need for the pet to go into quarantine.

Accidental injury is covered after the first 3 days of the policy. Illness, including poisoning, is covered after the first 14 days of the policy.

These policies offer per condition cover but with a time limit on claims. So, a particular condition will become excluded under the policy either when the maximum amount has been paid out or 12 months from the first date of treatment, whichever is the sooner.

This is the most comprehensive form of pet insurance and offers vet fees cover up to a maximum amount, which is reinstated each year. This means that if your pet develops a long term chronic illness such as diabetes or an ongoing skin condition, provided it didn't pre-date the policy; this will be covered for the rest of your pet's life.
