"There isn't a one-size-fits-all policy when it comes to pet insurance. You need to consider factors such as breed, age and gender along with any other requirements to find the best cover for your pet. If you have multiple pets, it's always worth comparing multi-pet cover as some insurers offer discounts. Comparing different policies can help you decide what you need from your cover, and help you avoid paying for unnecessary extras."
