Pet insurance pays for a dog’s new heart
The importance of buying pet insurance has once again been demonstrated by the real-life storie of Song and her £3,286 pacemaker.
Song’s, a spaniel retriever, has been fitted with a pacemaker in order to save her life. Suffering from a life-threatening low heart rate, Song, only aged 18 months, had to resolve to an electronic device worth £3,286. Luckily, her owners Bob and Laurie Austin’s dog insurance covered the cost of treatment. Mr Austin commented: “There were a few tears at the time but we’ve got our Song back now.”.
With pet health insurance, you don’t have to worry about the cost of vet bills when it comes to treat your dog. You can relax, safe in the knowledge that you:
• won’t have to make heartbreaking decisions like putting your pet to sleep should they require veterinary care.
• won’t have to think twice about visiting your practice.
• won’t have to go into debt either.
It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can get cheap pet insurance, per condition or 12-month cover, from just under £6 a month. If you’re looking for the comprehensive option, compare lifelong pet insurance and ongoing conditions will be covered year on year.

With 60% of owners also admitting they don’t know enough about pet health to recognise when their pet is sick, the insurer commented: “Self prescribing human medicine for an animal can have serious repercussions, with vets warning prolonged use of human painkillers such as Ibuprofen can lead to kidney failure or stomach ulcers which if left unchecked can prove fatal for dogs.”

Animal Friends Insurance helps protect endangered Gorillas
Independent pet health insurance company Animal Friends Insurance (AFI) has been supporting pet charities around the world by distributing profits made from insurance sales.
Last december, AFI decided to help raising funds for Gearing Up For Gorillas, a non-for-profit organisation that tries to protect the majestic mountain gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo, currently at war. AFI’s help has already proved successful: food and care are now being dispensed to 3 orphan gorillas in Goma, Ndeze, Ndakasi and Mapendo.
