Insurer to offer three levels of cover
Aviva is to begin underwriting its own pet insurance policies from today (1 August).
Aviva said the move recognises a growing trend among the UK’s 15 million cat and dog owners to protect their pets.
Business development director Simon Warsop said: “Aviva has been selling pet insurance for years. And with 14 million customers in the UK who trust us with their car, home and life insurance, we felt it was right to underwrite pet insurance ourselves, recognising the concern millions of pet owners have over medical costs for their pet.
“We know that pet owners worry about finding policies that will cover recurring medical conditions. So, for existing customers with Aviva and new customers from their first renewal, their cat or dog will continue to be insured for the cost of vet’s fees for treatment of illness and injury for as long as the policy is renewed - no matter what age he or she reaches.”
Existing customers will be told they have the option to continue their cover with Aviva as the underwriter on renewal. The insurer is offering three levels of pet insurance cover.
