We've created a comparison table to help you pick the perfect cover for your pet. 

This summary is only a brief guide to the cover and exclusions from Asda Pet Insurance. For full details of what is and what isn’t covered, please refer to the information in our policy documents.

We’ve provided a summary of our Lifetime cover below, use the dropdown to see our other products and what they cover.

If your pet is aged 5 years or older, an additional 10% co-insurance excess will apply every claim you make under the veterinary fee section of your policy. If your pet is under the age of 5 years when your policy starts, the additional 10% will apply to any treatment provided as soon as your pet turns 5 years of age- even if this is midway through policy. This additional 10% excess is in addition to the fixed excess.

An excess is applied to all levels of cover for veterinary fees and Third Party Liability.

Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.

When making a claim you'll be covered up to the limits shown above.

As soon as a pet becomes 5 years of age, there's an additional compulsory 10% co-insurance excess payable for each veterinary fee claim made. Please read our policy wording for full details.

For more detail on any of our pet insurance policies, take a look at our policy documents.

A quick ‘paws’ for thought…


With pet insurance, as part of the cost, your premium will increase each year at renewal as your pet gets older. We’ll limit the amount it goes up by, but your renewal price will also be impacted by:

  • Any claims you make – this could significantly increase your premium
  • Rising vet fees
  • Insurance Premium Tax increasing
  • Changes you make to your policy
  • Changes we make to our pricing

You can, of course, shop around at renewal. Just bear in mind that any existing conditions your pet’s developed, whether diagnosed or not, may not be covered elsewhere.

Top Pet Insurance FAQs:

Is my pet covered for pre-existing conditions?

Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Like most policies from other providers, your Asda Pet Insurance policy will not cover any medical condition or symptoms that your pet had before the start date of your policy or any that occur during the first 14 days of your insurance cover.

How do I claim?
