Pet Insurance – A Good Idea!
By Michael Challiner
Ever thought about taking out insurance to guard against pet theft? It is probably something you think most people have never needed to worried about. But that is quickly starting to change.
Statistics reveal that pet theft has overtaken mobile phone and ipod robberies to become the most rapidly growing crime in the UK. Each year, there are 50,000 dogs which are snatched from their owners. Of those victims, 40,000 had pet insurance. This sort of insurance can offer help in various ways.

Then, in the unfortunate instance that your pet is never recovered, the insurance company will pay anything from £500 to £1500 for the value of your dog, provided that the animal has been missing anything from 30 to 90 days.
You can take out claims with insurance companies like PetPlan, E&L, Marks & Spencer and the Kennel Club is another. In fact, many mainstream insurers also offer cover as well and you can find out about quotes for different companies through the internet. If you do pay for your policy online, it can be the case that you can claim an online payment discount.
