Only the excess differs

When your dog reaches a certain age, it becomes more likely to fall ill, develop a medical condition or suffer an accident. You therefore become more likely to claim and that’s why excesses and premiums increase with age.

Animal Friends pet insurance excess for older dog policies consists of a fixed excess of £99 as well as a percentage excess of 35% of the vet bill.

This is very common in pet insurance but if it puts you off, there are other options available. However they may be more expensive as providers compensate by upping the premiums. So it’s a case of finding what’s right for you and your pet.
