26 April at 5:32PM in Overseas holidays & travel planning

Hi all,
We have cancelled our holiday to Greece because one of our dogs has been diagnosed with cancer and we don't know how long she has left.
is there any chance we could claim back the coat of the holiday with our insurance or any other way please.
I realise this will probably be a long shot but I'm willing to ask the question

Kind regards Mark

I suspect that the insurance only covers close (human) relatives - is there anything in the small print about animals?

Yes, check your pet insurance if you have it.

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

Highly unlikely but check directly with the travel insurance company.
