You can get quotes from price comparison sites :-) there are different types the highest cover being lifetime cover, I opted for maximum benefit and pay around 12 per month :-)

I second that, definitely make sure its lifetime cover and always read the terms and conditions.
I'm with More than and pay £14 a month for lifetime cover.
Also, you may want to double check that they pay the vets directly, as coughing up money before hand then reclaiming back can be a pain.

I've done the price comparisons for pet insurance for Bruno but the lowest quote I can get for him for lifetime cover is £25? Why so high?

I spent ages looking at different insurance options, deciding on one that was a little more expensive but provided lifetime cover, $15 000 per year and no sub limits ... I think you need to shop around and look for what is available in your budget that has the best cover/options

I have lifetime cover for Rocky too, it's always best to make sure what everything includes as some of them do vary! Smile
