Pet insurance

YamahaR6

Just a thought but is there a limit the OR allows you for pet expenses? I've just inherited another dog (don't ask!) so I'll be adding it to my pet insurance policy which means I'll now be insuring 2 cats and 2 dogs. I imagine the premium will be about £30, is this going to be more than they'll allow? Can they ask me to get rid of my pets? :eek:

What would they do with them?;) and no they won't take your pets, you may have to pay the extra out of the surplus ,if you get an IPA

lol true, I assumed it was a daft question but had to ask all the same! They'd have to take me kicking and screaming to the cells if I thought for one second they'd try and make me get rid of them to cut costs!

Usually...the OR will only allow £20 a month but as you've read here no doubt NO OR is the same as another and as HOOS said they'll not exactly take pets from you kicking & screaming....they may allow the extra if they dont pay the rest from any surplus...simples

That's okay Yamaha. These mad thoughts do enter ones head at times, by the way you're not the first to ask and won't be the last.

I can just imagine the OR's office full of howling pets:eek:

Wow - £30 for 2 dogs and 2 cats - that's cheap - mine is £56 for 1 dog and 2 cats!!

I imagine Nottingham court is a bit like a zoo too and it'll be nothing to do with any four legged friends

Sheesh Way, what kind of dog you got? :eek: Tesco have quoted me £34 for two domestic short haired cats (both 6 years old), a 2 year old border collie male and a 1 year old staffy !!!!!. All on extra cover (£4000 per condition). All vaccinated yearly, chipped and neutered. That's if they don't cancel the policy after im made bankrupt that is

I put down 75.00 pm for my 2 dogs.The OR was a dog lover,when she found out they were both poodles and they need to be clipped every 6 weeks she was surprised it was so cheap.
I didnt tell the insurance company i went BC and they didnt ask,so carried on as before.

Bloody heck. My dogs used to sleep outside ( spaniels) and were allowed in the house on rare occasions, usually to give warmth to the piglets that occupied the hearth. They were then fed on bones and vegetables from the large garden. We never had insurance and the vet was a very rare visitor, mainly tending the pigs rather than the dogs. The pigs being more important than the dogs who's only employment was retrieving the shot ducks.;)

aaah this reminds me of when I had Rossendales Bailiffs banging down the door to collect on a council tax debt, and trying to get me to sign a walking posession order. One of his questions was "Is the dog a pedigree" when i told him no he said good because the rules state that if it is i have to take it here and now and i dont want no mutt in my car all the way back to blackpool
