What is 'Asda Pets'?
'Asda Pets' is a specially designed insurance policy to protect pet owners against the high costs of veterinary fees, and some of the other potential costs of pet ownership.As you would expect from Asda, it offers very high levels of cover for a surprisingly low, fixed monthly premium.

What pets can be covered?
Currently, 'Asda Pets' just covers dogs and cats, although they are planning to extend it to cover a wider range of pets in the not too distant future.

What am I insured against?
The key parts of the cover are: Veterinary fees of up to £5,000 for each and every treatment – this includes the cost of consultations, operations, medication, X-rays, dressings and lab tests; and there's no limit to the number of times you can make a claim;

The cost of kennel/cattery fees if you are taken into hospital for 4 days or more;
The cost of damage to third party property caused by your pet;
The cost of trying to recover your pet if it is lost or stolen (e.g. advertising and a reward);
The cost of your pet up to on death from illness or an accident, or on loss from theft or straying;
Cancellation costs if you are unable to travel on holiday because your pet is ill;
Your premiums paid for you if you can't work through illness, accident or redundancy.

What is an 'excess'?
Certain parts of the cover require you to pay a small part of any claim. The amount varies – full details are set out in the 'Asda Pets' leaflet and in the policy document.

Am I covered if I take my pet abroad?
Yes, if you choose to take your pet outside the UK for a period of no more than 45 days, it will be fully covered.

How much does it cost?
The cost depends on whether you are insuring a dog or a cat, and its age.

Is there an upper age limit?
When you first take out your 'Asda Pets' policy, your pet must be 11 years old or younger. However, once your pet is covered under 'Asda Pets', you can carry on your policy for as long as you like.

How does the 10% discount for additional pets work?
You qualify for a 10% discount on all the pets within a group, other than the least expensive one.
Take the following example:Dog aged 10 - £8.79 a month (less 10% = £7.91)Dog aged 7 - £7.79
a month (less 10% = £7.01)Cat aged 3 - £6.79 a monthTotal cost = £21.71 a month

How do I pay the premiums?
The premiums are paid by direct debit, either to a bank account or a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or via your Switch Debit Card
