Get dental insurance cover for your pet

(Napo)

Dental disease can affect up to 87% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of three, but most pet insurance companies don't cover it. That means pet owners end up paying the costs, which can run up to £1,000 for extractions. Napo Pet Insurance is different and can protect pets against some of the most common issues that affect them, such as dental disease. That’s why they call it tooth-to-tail cover. Every policy also comes with unlimited 24/7 vet and behaviourist video appointments, so you can get expert help whenever you need it, and no matter what’s troubling your pet. Napo Pet Insurance is a lifesaver for pet owners who want to make sure their pet’s health and wellbeing is truly covered.

Have a video chat with an online vet

(Vets Now)

Finding a vet whenever your pet feels unwell can be stressful, but Video Vets Now makes sure you’ve got one on hand. Book a video chat with one of the service’s online vets from the comfort of your home, and they’ll talk through any concerns you have. The vets are fully-qualified emergency veterinary surgeons and are available to video chat seven days a week from 8am to 11pm. After an examination, they’ll let you know whether your pet needs emergency treatment or not. They either offer advice for care at home or – in the case of an emergency – help arrange treatment at a clinic. Consultations are available from anywhere in the UK and cost £24. As part of the service’s Never Pay Twice initiative, if your pet does need to be seen in a clinic you’ll be refunded the cost of your Video Vet consultation within 48 hours.
