Why should I get insurance for my puppy?
Do puppies really need dog insurance? You’d be forgiven for thinking that a young, healthy puppy might not need vet fee cover. But here’s the reality: puppies are a pretty accident-prone bunch.
From taking a tumble, to eating something they shouldn’t, you never know when your pup might need to visit a vet. Our puppy insurance can help with these costs, providing cover for unexpected illnesses and injuries that could later be classed as pre-existing if you wait.
Socialising and going outside
There's lots of conflicting information available about socialising with other pets - sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming to know if you're making the right choice. Here are some top tips to help clear things up a little!
