Ensure that you get papers from the breeder, or
store when you purchase your puppy. This will
ensure that your pet insurance provider knows
where you purchased your dog and if it is a
pedigree dog, the pet insurance policy will
replicate that.

Make sure that you also keep the receipt from the
purchase of your puppy. Some pet insurance
policies, will included a pay out if your pet is
formally missing or passes away. While this is a
sad fact, the truth is that it does happen and
sometimes using that pay out to get a new puppy
is the only way to recover emotionally.
Unfortunately in the pet insurance industry we
see many things that are sad, but the joy for a
family that have been through a lot with their
new puppy is perhaps one of the better things.

Pet Insurance policies are divided into three
categories. While all have a value on the market,
before you insurer your puppy with pet insurance,
you need to know what the situation with all
types is. Firstly there is accident only, which
means that you can only claim for when you pet is
involved in an accident, like a car accident.
Then there is time limited, which means that your
pet is covered for accident and illnesses during
the policy period (generally 12 months) but then
that injury or illness is placed in as an
exclusion when the policy is renewed.

The final, and best kind of pet insurance policy,
is a covered for life policy, which means that as
long as you renew the policy every year, and
there is no gap between the policy renewals, your
pet will be covered for anything that is not
already placed as an exclusion. If you opt for a
covered for life policy, and you activate it when
your dog is only a puppy, you are very likely to
have no exclusions.

Make sure that you keep your puppy up to date
with their vaccination and check-ups. After you
have insurance in place with a good provider, you
will be expected to maintain their general
health. Pet insurance is a two way street and you
still expected to be a responsible pet owner.
