Can anyone sugest a good pet insurer? Our pet insurance has only ever payed out �15 towards a bill, it seems neither use nor ornament. Our average pet bill is approx �50 which we would have to pay (excess). thanks

Virtually every pet insurance has an excess, so you have to weigh up the pros and cons. If you have the means to pay a large vet bill should one come up, then I would say put the money away each month and it would be there should you need it. However, if you could not raise the money for a large bill should one come up before you have saved enough, then take out insurance. In over 40 years of owning many animals the only large bill I have had was for �250. Had I paid premiums every month I would have paid a fortune (but had I put it away I would be a millionaire by now!) .

A lot depends on the breed, for instance a big breed like a Rottie is very susceptible to cruciate ligament problems and might need an op costing �2,000. Cavaliers do often have heart problems, but that is usually dealt with by an ongoing course of tablets, rather than a big op. Some insurance companies only pay for the current year, some for ongoing conditions. Some have a limit of hour much per condition, some have no limit. Try googling 'compare pet insurance' and you will get sites like money supermarket.com which will list the different insurances available.
