Pet Insurance Explained

Your Pet Insurance protects against unforeseen incidents that can affect your pet and your pocket. At Alan Boswell Pet Insurance we are here to help you through these difficult times.

We offer different policies to suit you and your pet's requirements. Our 12-month policies protect against high initial costs of treatment after an illness/injury. More information.

Why Do I Need Pet Insurance?

For as little as £3.89 a month you could insure the most important member of your family.

Each year 1 in 3 pets are injured or become ill and need urgent veterinary treatment. The cost of this treatment is rising due to medical advances in pet health, which is good for your pet but a concern for you. We can help you cover the cost of these unexpected bills leaving you free to concentrate on helping an important member of your family recover.

May 2010 - Hot Weather

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather but spare a thought for your pets during this sunny period. Here are some tips to help your pet during this time:

  • Walk your dog early in the morning or late in the evening when it is cooler
  • Make sure your pet has shelter and plenty of fresh water at all times
  • Do not transport your pet in the car at the hottest time of the day
  • Do not leave your pet in the car as the temperature can soar very quickly even with the window open
  • Do not over-exercise
Heat stroke can occur very quickly as your pet’s temperature rises, initial signs will be excessive panting and distress this will be followed by drooling saliva, cyanosed (blue tinged to the tongue and gums) and then collapse. If you think your pet is suffering from heatstroke, cool them down with cold blankets and cold water and take your pet to the vets immediately.

Pale/white pets are more at risk from skin cancer and will need a small amount of high factor sun cream (suitable for babies) applied to their ear tips and noses, as the skin is very sensitive and vulnerable.

Missing pets can also be a problem in the summer due to cats being trapped in other people’s garages and sheds and dogs getting lost on walks. If you make sure your pet is micro chipped (your vet will be able to do this) and dogs have a collar and i.d tag then if your pet is found by the authorities they can be quickly returned to you. Always phone the RSPCA, vets and the local dog warden as they may have some information. Our policies do have an advertising and reward offer which can help you find your pet.
