How can I get pre-existing conditions cover for my cat?

When getting a quote for your cat, you’ll be asked to declare medical conditions they’ve had in the last two years. You’ll also answer a few questions about their current health. You’ve got the power to tailor the policy to your pet’s needs, as well as suit your budget.

Select your preferred vet fee cover up to £15,000, decide if you’d like to pay an excess (and how much), and choose any optional add ons.

You never have to fret about any hidden costs. If your cat can be covered, you’ll be offered a clear and fair price for your policy. If you’re switching to Petsure from your current provider, your cover could start immediately**.

Has your cat had an illness such as allergies, arthritis, diabetes, or FIV? These are some of the conditions which have been covered* for other cats. You get peace of mind, and your cat can carry on being their adventurous self.

Product Facts

Yes, we do! It’s time to kick upper age limits to the curb and offer cover for pre-existing conditions*. This means you could get pet insurance if you’ve got an older cat with an existing illness or injury.

Lots of insurers may make you pay mandatory contributions (known as co-payments) on top of your excess when your pet gets to a certain age – but not us.

You get to choose how much you want to pay for your excess and voluntary bill share when you set up your pet insurance.

The most comprehensive type of policy – lifetime cover up to £15,000. What’s more, your cat’s pre-existing conditions* limit will be covered up to your chosen vet fee limit. Yep, we’re fur real!

Some other providers do not cover pre-existing conditions whatsoever. Others have limited or lower-level cover and compulsory excesses. If you think you may need cover for a pre-existing condition, be sure to carefully check our policy wording booklet for any exclusions.

We wouldn’t cover any maintenance treatment for an existing condition. By this, we mean any repeat prescriptions, ongoing therapy treatments, scans/tests, or planned consultations that are known at the point of taking out cover with us.

We also don’t cover any pre-existing conditions if your cat has an undiagnosed condition or any pending surgery at the point of taking out cover.

We will cover worsening and new symptoms of your cat’s pre-existing conditions that have been declared and accepted by us.
