When you purchase house insurance you buy third party liability; when you buy a car, you buy insurance and legally must have third party liability.
So when you get a dog the same rules apply.

Apart from purchasing health insurance additional third party cover gives you peace of mind - if your dog bites another dog or a person or your dog is attacked by another dog or causes damage to property.
There will also be vet bills to pay for any injuries suffered.
Your pet is an important part of your family and therefore you would wish to ensure that he is properly insured for any unlikely event.

There have been so many stories in the news about dogs attacking and sadly, in some cases, killing dogs, and this is so devastating for the owners.
Hopefully the guilty owner has insurance cover but more likely than not, they will not.

It is up to you as a pet owner to ensure that you have some form of insurance.
In this current climate, pet insurance is a very prudent purchase.

It is important to bear this issue and the costs when considering becoming a pet owner; yes, it is an additional expense but if you have decided to become a pet owner then you have undertaken to look after your very important four-legged friend.

There are many specialised pet insurance companies out there
see one of our newsletters where some of these can be found along with some contact details.
