How much does pet insurance cover from Pet-Insurance.co.uk cost?
With almost all pet insurance companies, the cost of pet insurance varies widely depending factors like the age and breed of your pet, and which part of the UK you live in.
Pet-Insurance.co.uk's lifetime cover offers a lower level of vet fee cover than some of the providers on our list of the best pet insurers, which indicates its prices may be lower than rivals' highest levels of cover - or similar to other providers' equivalent policies.

Are promotional codes available for Pet-Insurance.co.uk
We could not find any promotional codes, however, Pet-Insurance.co.uk does offer an introductory discount of up to 45% for new customers. Be aware that the discount may not carry over when you renew a policy so you might see premiums jump after your first year.

Is behaviour training covered by Pet-Insurance.co.uk?
In Pet-Insurance.co.uk's list of exclusions, it says: "Any costs arising from vicious tendencies or behavioural problems not related to illness shown by your pet."
