Pet insurance is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. If your pet becomes unwell or has an injury and requires life-changing or even lifesaving treatment, getting them the treatment they need (rather than the treatment you can afford at the time) can be vital.

Pet Insurance

Pet insurance can help you cover unexpected treatment costs at your veterinary practice and referral centres, and many policies offer additional benefits too.

We partner with Pet Proactive to provide a new approach to pet insurance for dogs and cats which directly benefits our clients. As vets, we see pet insurance as a means for pet owners to budget for the unexpected, and if the worst happens, it enables our vets to carry out the most effective treatment, increasing the likelihood of recovery and a better quality of life for your pet. At the same time, pet insurance can be frustrating with many terms & conditions or exclusions, meaning claims are often not paid in full. On top of this our customers regularly complain of hefty price increases as their pet gets older, at the time when they are most likely to need insurance.

Pet Proactive was formed to tackle these types of issues. By designing pet insurance for vet practices, they can offer greater clarity to customers and take away the hassle. Our collective aim is that you don’t waste time worrying about pet insurance, you deal with us, and we focus on your pet.

Whichever Pet Proactive policy you choose comes with the following good to know features:

  • A clear and simple policy which confirms any exclusions from the start
  • Based upon trust in our practice, so any treatment or referral we prescribe is covered up to your policy limit *
  • Premiums are based on the fair pricing at Thrums Vets and making a claim will not affect your premium
  • Unlike most policies where you may need to pay an excess per condition per year, with a Pet Proactive policy, you only pay one excess per year irrespective of how many conditions you are claiming for, up to your annual claim limit. We will process your claims upon request with payment made directly to Thrums Vets. **
  • Covers treatment through another vet practice if you are away from home
  • Lifetime cover so your policy limits refresh every year

*Excluding any pre-existing conditions

**Provided monthly premiums are up-to-date with Pet Proactive
