An insurance offer that's best for you and your circumstances
Whether you have a new puppy or an adult dog, dog and puppy insurance works in the same way as any pet insurance plan designed to cover your pet for accidents and illnesses, or unexpected vet bills. Dog insurance can help to cover the costs, where otherwise you might have to pay for treatment yourself, so it can be a worthwhile investment.
What your dog insurance policy covers will depend on the type and level of cover you choose. There are several options to choose from, including Lifetime, Time Limited, and Accident Only, each with different prices and structures.
You should always carefully check that any pet insurance policy should reflect your needs and your dogs’ needs, but here are a few things to think about when choosing the best dog insurance to suit you and your pet:
A lifetime pet insurance policy will help you pay the vet bills up to the cover limit of the policy you’ve chosen. Our cover offers three levels to choose from to cover vet bills up to £2,000, £4,000, or £10,000. Lifetime cover is subject to your policy remaining in force, premiums kept up to date and the insurer offering renewal. Limits may apply for specific conditions. Find out more about Lifetime pet insurance.
This provides up to 12 months’ cover for your dog for each new accident or illness, up to the limit the policy allows. Find out more about Time Limited pet insurance.
Cover for your dog for any bumps and scrapes, up to the policy limit for each new accident. Find out more about Accident Only pet insurance.

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:
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.
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.
