If you own a pet then you'll know they are just as much a part of your family as you are.
At UIA we understand the importance of this, which is why our pet insurance not only covers vets bills but also gives you access to helplines, including:

  • Find a vet: ideal at times when emergency treatment is required, away from home, for your pet
  • Pet legal: advice from lawyers on any legal issues relating to your pet
  • Pet minders: ensuring your pet is looked after by a registered pet minder
  • Bereavement counselling: following death, injury, accident or illness to your pet

Because everyone's pet is different we appreciate that the type of pet insurance you might need could be different from everyone else's, which is why UIA pet insurance comes in three different levels of cover; bronze, silver and gold. They all offer:

  • Cover for vet's fees (although the amounts vary depending on policy)
  • Overseas travel cover
  • Third party liability (dogs only)

With UIA pet insurance you will also receive expert and professional advice from our claims department which is staffed by veterinary nurses.
