Updated on: 16 September 2020

A man looks over some insurance documents beside his dog.

Owning a dog comes with everyday costs like food and toys, while it’s also possible to budget for regular vet treatments like vaccinations. But our pets’ playful nature can get them into scrapes, and unexpected, serious illnesses can develop with age. So, having dog insurance is a way to help you care for your pet.

What does Churchill dog insurance cover you against?

Churchill dog insurance gives dog owners protection for a limited period of 12 months after any injury or illness that needs vet treatment. This policy may suit you if you’re worried about the immediate high cost of treatment after an injury, such as a road accident, or illness.

What you get:

  • Up to £3,000 for vet’s fees for each new condition up to 12 months from the start of the condition. This includes up to £1,000 towards complementary treatments.

  • Up to £1,000 for advertising and reward if your dog is lost or stolen.

  • Up to £500 if your dog sadly dies through accident or illness.

  • Emergency kennel fees of up to £750 if you’re suddenly hospitalised.

  • Up to £3,000 for the cost of cancelling or cutting short your holiday if your dog requires life-saving surgery.
