Insurance for Pet Sitters
:hello: This summer I looked after various pets for various friends and relatives, either at their house or at mine. On the event this will become a regular occurrence (but not as a business), I was wondering if there is some kind of insurance I can/should get. Or would I be covered under the owner's pet insurance? TIA ;)

Insurance for Guinea Pigs?
Do you need insurance for guinea pigs? My husband grew up with guinea pigs and he's certain that they would never have been insured. I know Rabbits need insurance, vaccinations etc but it appears that you don't necessarily NEED it for them, but should you have it? I've priced up one policy online and it says it's going to…

Bitten by dog - need advice please!
Hello, I've been dog walking/boarding for about 7 years now. Over these years I've looked after dogs (and other animals) of all breeds and sizes and never had any problems whatsoever.

Dog likes to attack me, what to do?
Dear fellow MSE members, Dog likes to bark at me and some even try to attack me. This happens always, and they are stranger dogs, never see them before. It had been several incidents when I nearly attacked by dogs during walking. Everytime if I see untied dogs coming from opposite direction of the path, I will stop and…

Kitty - final Vet trip.
Sadly, last Thursday took our cat to the Vets for the last time - odd coming home alone. Fourteen and a quarter doesn't seem old (well our previous one made twenty), but senile feline dementia had taken hold, with her lack of appetite her weight loss was becoming more noticeable. It'll take a while for the 'emptiness' to…

Scammed by PetPlan. Anyone else?
So, the short version of this post is: I have an otherwise very healthy 15-year-old lab with 15-year-old lab problems, and PetPlan has decided that being old is a disqualifying factor for paying out. Now here's the long story... A couple of months ago my beautiful and healthy 15-year-old lab took a severe turn for the…

How long do you wait for a cat to be claimed
Hi there, I'm new to this forum but am looking for advice. A cat wandered into the garden/house on Saturday night as we were having a bbq. She is very sweet, collarless and quite young (probably less than a year). We played with it but ultimately it was getting late so I scooped her up and went to a house down the road…

Four grand vet bill no insurance
Hi, We recently welcomed home our new puppy in the end of July however in August, at 13 weeks old, he had an accident which resulted in surgery and extensive care which adds up to three to four grand worth of expenses. We thought we had pet insurance as we took it out when we first got him but turns out the cover started…

Best Quality Dog Food
Hi all was looking for some advice. I have a 10 month old rescue puppy from Spain and have struggled to find food that she likes and doesn't cause an upset tummy. She is very much a mixed breed (we even paid for the dna test out of curiosity and she came back a bit of everything :rotfl:!) She has had issues with being…

We will have a fairly long train journey (around 3 hours) and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions to make it easier for the pup. My plan so far is a soft travelling crate, lined with puppy pads and blankets. I will have wipes and disinfectant, plus a…

Hi all, Our dog has cataract in one eye. He is insured with DirectLine pet insurance and we want to know if all cataract treatments will be covered by Direct Line.

Accident only insurance - does anyone know what it covers?
Been trying to find a list of some sort as to what this covers. Apart from something obvious like breaking a leg. I've just had the MOST horrendous hike in my More Than policy which makes it completely unaffordable. No point shopping around I did look. One of the dogs is now 12 - the healthy one. The younger one is…

Insurance for older cat - Bought by Many recent reviews
Hi there, Trying to figure out if pursuing insurance with Bought by Many would be a good move to cover my twelve-year-old cat. She does have a congential heart murmur which might prove a problem in the future. Unfortunately she has also had teeth extracted recently which could also be considered a pre-existing condition…
