What's multi-pet insurance discount?
Many people have more than one pet in their family. If you have multiple four-legged friends, our policy lets you insure them all together.

Pet insurance tips, FAQs and policy documents
What can impact my premium?
- Age. The older your pet gets, the more expensive your cover is likely to be. This is because your pet is more prone to chronic medical conditions in later years.
- Rising vet fees. Fees are increasing throughout the UK because vets can now provide more advanced treatments.
- Breed. Some breeds are more expensive to insure as they're more susceptible to certain medical conditions.
- IPT. If Insurance Premium Tax either increases or decreases, insurance premiums are impacted.
- Introductory discounts. If the price you've paid today includes an introductory or renewal discount, you might find your insurance is higher in following years once the offer ends. Other factors including, but not limited to, the age and breed of your pet or claims history could also have an impact on your premium at renewal.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, we’re able to insure any combination of domestic cats and dogs on one policy up to a maximum of 10 pets. However, our website will restrict the number able to be insured online to three. This is because there are a number of additional questions that we need to ask to ensure that the policy meets your requirements and so that we can establish whether there’s any additional risk, which would not be covered under the policy, such as commercial gain or using a pet for breeding purposes.
Please call us on 0345 246 8705 if you require cover for four or more animals.
