Pet Insurance - Practice Policy

Our practice promotes the principle of pet insurance.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has introduced rules from January 2005 which govern the selling of pet insurance.  These rules are for the safeguarding of pet owners but this means that we cannot offer specific advice about pet insurance or recommend a specific company unless we enter into a contract with one or more pet insurance companies.

 

In order to enable pet owners to make an informed choice about insuring their pets we recommend insureyourpet.co.uk, the UK’s leading pet insurance information service.

 

Summary of the FSA rules

The FSA rules allow us to:

· Complete the veterinary section of your claim forms.

· Deal with all insurance companies.

· Provide you with non-specific information about pet insurance.

· Affiliate with www.insureyourpet.co.uk so that you have free access to accurate,   up to date and unbiased information about all aspects of pet insurance.

 

The FSA rules do not allow us to (unless acting as an Authorised Representative for a specific company):

 

· Give specific advice about insurance or recommend a company.

· Issue cover notes, fill in the owner’s part of a claim form, or post the form.

· Act as the owner’s representative when dealing with an insurance company.
