In the UK, there are several types of pet insurance policies available, with some of the most common being time limited, lifetime cover, maximum benefit, and accident only.
It depends on you and your pet, and the insurance you choose. For example, our lifetime policies at Asda Money have annual limits ranging from £2,000 to £10,000.
Pet insurance is available for cats and dogs at a range of ages, from just a few months old into their senior years. Some insurers have minimum age limits – often around four months – while others may have restrictions or higher premiums for older pets. The availability, cost, and cover level can vary depending on your pet’s age at the time you take out the policy.

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.
