Pet insurance won't normally cover any injuries within the first 14 days of the policy.
Pre-existing conditions will not be covered (one of my dogs was only covered for three legs cos he pulled a muscle on one leg before we got the policy!!!!)
Excesses on pet insurance can be horrific - I actually ended up cancelling our pet insurance (two dogs - it was costing a lot) and opening a savings account for them and putting money into that every month.
You have to watch some policies - some will only cover up to a certain amount for treatment whilst others will do "whole of life" - which means, say your pet became diabetic - some policies will only cover treatment up to say £4000 whilst others will cover that condition for the whole life of the animal.
I'm not sure how it works for changing insurance companies - because if your pet gets treatment for a condition and then you decide to change companies - does that condition then become a pre-existing condition and it won't be covere?????
Funeral costs are normally covered and some policies will cover the cost of advertising etc for a lost pet, alternative therapies, specialist diets, etc.
