What’s puppy insurance?
:quality(75))
Why should I get insurance for my puppy?
You know puppies – they’re always full of energy and excitement. As cute as that is, it also means they’ll be running around, playing, exploring, and getting into trouble from the moment they arrive home.
When your little furry friends are that young, it’s easy for accidents to happen. And even the best-behaved pup can fall ill, or eat something they shouldn’t – so it’s a huge comfort to know they’ll be protected if they need a trip to the vet for any reason.
At ManyPets, we know how important it is to give pups the best start. That’s why we offer cover for puppies as young as four weeks old - with up to £15,000 of annual vet fee cover, and a range of perks and add-ons.

Look after them with lifetime puppy insurance
We know that your puppy is a bona fide furry member of the family. They’re your therapy, your mood-booster, your happiness. So why would we ever want you to risk them running out of cover when they need it?
That’s why we only do lifetime dog insurance policies here at ManyPets.
It just means that whatever level of cover you choose, it’ll refresh each year when you renew your policy. You can claim up to the full vet fee limit every year and we’ll continue to provide cover for conditions your pup may develop during their lifetime
So even if one year your puppy needs treatment that costs an arm and a hind leg, you’ll still have the same amount of cover to fall back on after your policy renews.

When should I get puppy insurance?
While they can be bundles of energy when they’re young, there’s always a chance that your puppy could become ill or injure themselves while they’re playing. In fact, almost 25% of the puppy insurance claims we handle are for accidents.
That’s why we recommend starting insurance for your puppy as soon as they arrive home. That way you’re covered for the cost of any unexpected vet visits – plus any conditions they develop early on for as long as you keep renewing your policy.

Puppy insurance FAQs
Everything else you need to know about your puppy insurance plan.
What age can I insure my puppy from?
We can cover puppies from just four weeks old. You can also choose the start date for your policy, so if you know the date that you’ll be welcoming your puppy home, you can get your insurance to start as soon as they arrive. Just remember: you can't claim for accidents in the first 48 hours or for illnesses in the first 14 days of your policy.
When can my puppy go outside?
Your puppy can explore your garden straight away as long as it’s safe (check those fences!), and as long as your vet says it’s fine and the garden isn’t used by unvaccinated dogs. With that said, it’s a good idea to wait until a week after their second vaccinations before taking them out for walks.
It’s important to make sure you follow your vet’s advice on vaccinations and on taking care of your puppy before they’re fully protected. Diseases like distemper and parvovirus can be devastating for pet parents should they fall ill before they’ve been vaccinated.
Does pet insurance cover puppy vaccinations?
Vaccinations aren’t covered by your puppy insurance policy because they’re classified as routine procedures.
Can my puppy have pre-existing conditions?
It’s a misconception about puppy health insurance that you won’t have to worry about cover for pre-existing conditions because they’re too young to have been poorly in the past.
Sadly dogs can develop an illness at any age, and some pups will be born with health issues. And as soon as they’re noted by a vet on your puppy’s veterinary records, they’ll become pre-existing conditions for insurance purposes if you don’t already have a policy.
That’s one of the reasons why we cover pups from four weeks old: we want you to have peace of mind from the moment they join your family.
If a vet has noticed a health condition in your pup before you have cover, the good news is we can still cover it in two ways:
A Complete, Regular or Value policy, won’t cover the condition until two years after it ends. As long as your puppy has no signs or symptoms or needs no treatment, medication or advice for the condition for two years, we’ll cover it in the future, just as we would a new condition, if it crops up again.
If you’re insuring an older pup who’s had a health issue within this time, our Preexisting policy might be suitable. They just have to have been free from signs or symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months.
If your pet has had signs or symptoms, treatment, medication or advice within the last three months, the condition will need to be free from these for three months before you can claim for it. Check your policy wording carefully for more details.
Should a puppy come with insurance?
Some breeders and rescues send their pups to new homes with a few weeks’ insurance cover, but you’ll need to check any documents carefully to find out what you’re getting, and how long it lasts. If you arrange cover with us as soon as your free puppy insurance expires, you’ll be covered for most things after a waiting period of 14 days for illness and 48 hours for accidents. Check your policy wording for more details.
Will I be covered if my puppy’s stolen?
Thankfully, puppy theft is rare but our Complete policy includes cover for the cost of advertising, and rewards for lost or stolen dogs as standard. You can add that cover as an optional extra to all our other policies.
Which puppies cost more to insure?
A puppy’s breed is one of the factors insurers look at when working out your insurance price.
The most expensive puppies vary from year to year. But typically, you’ll find these breeds on the “most expensive puppies to own” lists:
How can I keep my puppy healthy?
Good question! Here’s what we recommend early on:
Register your puppy with a vet in the first couple of weeks
Ask a vet to give your puppy a check-up, where you’ll discuss their history
Make sure you vaccinate your puppy
Get them microchipped (it’s a legal requirement)
Provide your puppy with a healthy diet and make sure their nutrition is in check
Does puppy insurance include dental cover?
Yes – all of our policies include dental cover for accidents. But some don’t cover dental for illness.
Make sure you read our policy information carefully before getting a policy.
