What is Accident Only pet insurance?
Asda Pet Cover is only for cats and dogs and offers three types of insurance – Maximum Benefit cover, 12 month cover and Lifetime cover.
Maximum Benefit
The cost of treatment for each qualifying illness, injury or behavioural disorder up to the limit shown on your schedule, including the statement of insurance. Cover is continuous for each separate illness, injury or behavioural disorder up to the limit shown on your Schedule, including the Statement of Insurance. Continuous treatment is subject to the policy remaining in force, being continuously renewed at each anniversary and premiums received on the due date. Treatment in respect of any condition can continue until the original fees limit has been reached without time limit.
12 month cover
Value and Standard policies offer 12 month cover. So if your pet becomes ill, they’ll be covered to the vet's fee limit for up to 12 months - as long as you keep your policy renewed, your premiums up to date and the insurer invites renewal. If your pet still needs treatment after the 12 months have passed, they will not be covered. Cover begins from the first clinical signs of illness. Asda Pet Insurance also offer Accident Only cover which can be a great alternative for younger, more energetic pets that are more likely to get into scrapes than become unwell.
Lifetime* cover
Superior policy covers up to £7,500 of vets fees. So if your pet becomes ill they will be covered up to the policy limit for each year they need treatment, as long as you keep your policy renewed, premiums paid up to date and the insurer invites renewal, there is no limit on how long you can claim for each illness or injury.
Asda Pet Insurance try their best to cover as many conditions for cats and dogs as possible. The list below shows some of the events that are not included. You can look at the policy wording for full details and for other exclusions.
Asda Pet Insurance look at the breed of your pet, its age, sex, original purchase price and where you live when working out the cost of your cover.
When your policy is due for renewal, Asda Pet Insurance will recalculate the cost of your insurance. As your pet gets older it costs more to insure so you may see a rise in your insurance each year.
You can purchase Asda Pet Insurance for your dog or cat as soon as they are over 8 weeks old. Once your pet's policy has been issued, they can be covered up to any age, as long as the policy is renewed and payments are up-to-date. The only benefit that stops is death from illness cover. When your dog is over 9 years old or your cat over 11 years old, Asda Pet Insurance won't give you back the purchase price if they die or have to be put to sleep through illness or natural causes. All other benefits continue.
The amount you’ve agreed within your individual policy will be paid towards each new illness or injury. If you have a dog, you’ll also need to pay a £100 excess towards any claim for third party liability occurring in the UK or £250 if the incident is outside the UK but within the EU.
Veterinary claims will be subject to an additional 10% excess deduction after the deduction of the compulsory excess if your dog is aged 5 years + or if you cat is aged 7 years +. If your pet is of these ages, this additional excess is applicable per claim, per condition.
If you pet's treatment runs into 2 or more periods of insurance, you must pay any applicable excess(es) for each policy year and is applicable for each separate illness or injury.
