Swiftcover has launched a pet policy, starting from £45 per year. The online insurance provider has developed the policy in conjunction with Thornside.

Andrew Blowers, chief executive of swiftcover.com, commented: “We're a nation that's renowned for our love of our pets and having adequate cover in place to protect against any unforeseen circumstances is absolutely vital for responsible pet owners. However, the rising annual costs of looking after a pet can deter many people from taking out pet insurance. Swiftcover.com's new pet cover premiums should help drive down these costs for pet owners.

“We are dedicated to offering consumers low cost insurance with a high standard of cover at the click of a button and I am delighted that we have been able to add pet insurance to our range.”
