Rabbit pet insurance options still too limited

Pet owners looking to protecttheir rabbits against the cost of expensive veterinary bills may sufferfrom a lack of competition as owners can only choose from a couple ofproviders.   Althoughthere are more than 50 different pet insurance brands in the UK, coveris essentially available for cats and dogs. Dogs and cats represent themain part of the UK's pet population with about 16 millions of them,compared to just 1 million for rabbits. And the difference in optionsoffered to bunny owners is equally significant, with policies availablefrom only just 2 providers: Petplan and Helpucover.   Petplanis the UK’s number one pet insurer and provides health policies forcats, dogs, rabbits, horses and exotic animals. Helpucover aims to fillthe gap other insurers leave behind and offers lifetime cover for cats,dogs and rabbits including a premium waiver benefit that helps you payyour premium in case you were made redundant and couldn’t afford thecosts.   Thelack of choice means that customers can only choose low cover levels,generally £2,000 towards veterinary fees per year, although pricesremain attractive. Rabbit pet insurance is available from just about £10 a month and customers buying onlinecan get an extra discount. Customers are also advised to read the termsand conditions and small prints as some notable exclusions apply tosome policies: for instance, Petplan requires your rabbit to have anannual teeth check or examination and will not pay for any preventativeor cosmetic treatment.   For more information or to compare rabbit insurance , please visit www.pet-insurance-discount.co.uk .
