Crufts Pet Insurance

"We constantly speak to owners and breeders of all types of dogs and advise on all aspects of responsible dog ownership, including insurance.

Unfortunately, while by far the majority of the dog owners we speak to do the very best for their pets, we still hear a lot of distressing stories about insurance companies refusing veterinary treatment or stopping a payment because of a misunderstanding about a clause in a contract.

At the Kennel Club we consider healthcare insurance to be a vital part of responsible dog ownership and we encourage you to make sure you have proper, comprehensive insurance that will protect you and your dog in any eventuality.

It's why we helped create Crufts Pet Insurance."

Rosemary Smart
Chief Executive, The Kennel Club

"In practice I frequently come across dog owners who are distressed to find that they can't afford the treatment their dog needs because they're inadequately insured and, since we can successfully treat so many more conditions nowadays, each year more people fall into this trap.

Now there are schemes like the Crufts Pet Insurance that both owners and vets can be confident in, the need to compromise on a dog's health and treatment is entirely avoidable."
