When it comes to health insurance for your dog, cheaper is rarely better. Not paying out for a decent level of cover for your dog is a false economy when it comes to pet insurance. It is best to buy the best policy that your pocket allows.

When looking for health insurance for your dog look for a policy that offers a wide-ranging level of cover. Search for a policy that covers more than just obvious situations such as your dog getting a thorn in its paw or needing to have a tooth removed. Your policy need sto cover more unusual and serious situations, such as a car accident where the driver does not stop to give you their contact or insurance details, some policies do not pay for your dog's treatment in those circumstances.

As well as checking what kinds of injuries or illnesses the policy covers find out what the limits and excesses on the policy are. Sometimes the excess on a policy is hundreds of pounds. Most policies have an upper limit on how much they will pay for treatment, in some situations this is such a low amount of money that the policy is practically not worth taking out.

When you have established exactly what your policy covers you need to familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions of the policy. Some policies require that your dog to be fully vaccinated and be fitted with a microchip. If you are late, paying your premiums your pet insurance becomes invalid, so make sure that you can really afford the premiums before committing to a policy. Be sure to fulfil all the obligations outlined in the policy's terms and conditions, failure to do so can result in the insurance company not paying out at all.

If you have limited savings check that your dog's health insurance policy will pay out quickly. Most veterinarians do not allow their clients to run up huge bills whilst they wait for money to come through from an insurance company. Some pet insurance companies pay vets direct rather requiring you to pay the bill then claim the money back from them. Before you take out this kind of policy, make sure that your vet will accept that type of payment arrangement from that specific insurance company.
