Pet insurance – great value, low cost
Shield is pleased to offer insurance policies for the ‘other member’ of the family. You can have complete peace of mind in knowing that your pet is protected.
Insuring your caravan, your car and your valuables makes perfect sense. However, what if something happened to your pet? Vet bills are pretty expensive. Did you know that a broken leg can cost £1,500 if not more?*
Almost a third of our insured pets need to visit the vet for unplanned treatment each year*. When a serious accident or illness strikes, make sure your pet gets access to the best veterinary treatment. Don’t worry about the vet bill. Our policies can take care of it for you. Our affordable and reliable pet insurance has been designed with you and your pet in mind.
We have partnered with Petpals Direct and Pet Protect to bring you a range of cover ideally tailored to your needs and budget. We also make the choice easy. Use our new ‘Get a quote online’ facility and you will see the range of cover available to you and the benefits as well as the premium you will pay.
Pet Insurance policy benefits include:
New Affordable Cover – Our new Quickcare policies for dogs and cats bring you one of the most affordable of pet insurances for your cats and dogs. Cover starts from as little as £4.88 per month and if you buy online, you’ll get your 1st month free. There is no time limit for claiming for each category of cover. Cover details
Lifetime Cover – Unlike many other pet insurance companies, we also offer true lifetime cover with our Lifelong Plus and Lifelong Extra (Defaqto 5-Star Rated) policies . As such all the benefits are refreshed each time you renew your policy so you are unlikely to run out of cover for those conditions that could cost you the most. Cover details
Overseas Travel Cover – Our Lifelong policies now include cover for taking your dog or cat abroad.
Rented Accommodation – Our new TenantCare cover is designed for pet owners living in rented accommodation. Cover details
Flexible Cover – You can select from four levels of cover to suit your needs.
Our approach to Claims – Your claims are handled by qualified veterinary nurses who are familiar with the treatment your pet is receiving and understand the worry of having a sick pet.
