We’re proud to offer health cover for all breeds of pet dogs and cats!
However, we may only cover your pet if it satisfies both conditions:
They are a dog (Canis familiaris) or a domestic cat (Felis catus).
They do not require a wild animal license in the UK.
Some examples of animals we do not cover include:
Wolves and wolf hybrids that may require a wild animal license in the UK (including Czechoslovakian/Dutch/Saarloos Wolfdog).
Foxes or racoon dogs.
Australian Dingo.
Asian Leopard cat and any crossbreeds of Asian Leopard cat.
Any cats who are a hybrid between a wild cat (Serval or Savannah) and a domestic cat (also known as F1 cats).
Feral cat.
For the following dog breeds (previously under our excluded breeds list) we are proud to now offer healthcare cover, although we still don't cover them for Third Party Liability 🎉
