Lifetime Policy

Whether you’ve adopted a puppy, kitten or bunny, or you have a life-long four-legged friend in the family, you may be thinking about insurance. You could benefit from an annually renewed vet fee limit for new conditions.

This policy covers for veterinary fees, such as non-routine dental work and physiotherapy, overseas veterinary treatment, and even payment for advertisement and rewards if your beloved pet goes missing.

Please note, overseas veterinary treatment is not included in our rabbit insurance.

Time Limited Policy

Just like us, your pet can get into all sorts of mishaps. Your dog or cat could develop an illness that they have never had before, meaning that you will need to pay for their treatment to get them back to feeling themselves. With a Time Limited policy, new conditions are covered for a 12-month period, or until the vet fee limit has been spent, whichever comes first.

Our Time Limited policy can cover new conditions, as well as helping you if your pet goes missing. You can also benefit from holiday travel cover.

Please note, our Time Limited Policy is not available for rabbit insurance.

Maximum Benefit Policy

Maximum Benefit Insurance covers accidents, illnesses and new medical conditions up to a pre-agreed financial limit.

You can claim multiple times on the same condition until the limit is reached, from that point onward the condition will no longer be covered under the policy however you will still be able to claim on new conditions.

Please note, our Maximum Benefit Policy is not available for rabbit insurance.

Cover your dog, cat or rabbit from just eight weeks old

Getting a new puppy or kitten or bunny is a very exciting time for you and the family. Adopting a pet comes with a lot of responsibility, and costs too! So, you may be wondering if you can insure them. At Argos Pet Insurance, you could insure your new family member from when they are just eight weeks old, meaning we can provide cover if your new addition to the family gets into a spot of bother.

Remember, we have an upper age limit for insurance policies. You can insure your pets from 8 weeks old but for cats you cannot take out a new policy after their 10th birthday, for dogs their 8th birthday (5 years for some breeds, please see FAQs) and rabbits their 5th birthday. However, once purchased, cover can continue up to any age if you renew the existing policy, without a break in cover.
