If your pet gets injured, and if you don’t have pet insurance, then you can pay up to £9,000.

The Pet Insurance company, Saga, say one of the biggest and most common threats is if a dog has to be treated for ligament damage.

Saga also claim that treating a cat that has been in a road accident, on average, costs £705, but amazingly can be as much as £5k, meaning a big ask for pet owners without pet insurance.

Research carried out by Saga found that 1 in 7 pet insurance claims were due to an actual accident, as opposed to them getting ill.

Strangely enough, it was found that cats living in the Midlands are most ham-fisted, with 26% of pet insurance claims being attributed to cats. Generally, I think the point is to always take out pet insurance for your pet because they are vital in covering the cost of vet’s fees that you wouldn’t have been expecting.
