Admiral Pet Insurance specialises in cover for your cat or dog
According to the Association of British Insurers, the cost of the average pet insurance claim is £757, more than twice the average annual premium for dogs and over three times that for cats. The number of claims has risen by 10% from 2016 to 2017 – but an estimated 67% of dogs and 84% of cats are still uninsured.
The cost of getting quality veterinary treatment can quickly run into thousands of pounds, so having the peace of mind your pet is covered for life-saving treatment can be invaluable.
What furry friend do you want to insure?
Loving companion
We recognise that your dog or cat is a loved and valued member of the family and so deserves the best care.
Whether you are looking for dog insurance, cat insurance or both, Admiral Pet Insurance offers a range of cover options to suit pet owners across the country.
What's included?
Lifetime Cover
Lifetime Cover is the most comprehensive type of pet insurance policy we provide. It covers accidents and illnesses up to the total policy limit, with no time restrictions. At each renewal the policy limit for veterinary fees is reset, so if you reached your policy limit the previous term, you can start claiming again.
Lifetime cover is only valid if your payments are up to date, the policy is live and we can offer you renewal. Choose between our Classic, Premier and Premier Plus products.
Maximum Benefit Cover
Maximum Benefit Cover gives you an allowance of veterinary fees for each condition. Each condition is covered with no time limit, until you've reached the fee cap. When the limit is reached, those conditions won’t be covered.
12 Month Cover
A 12 Month policy gives you an amount of veterinary fees for 12 months from the date the condition is first treated. When either the vet fee limit has been reached or the 12 months is up, the condition you claimed for will be excluded.
Accident Only Cover
An Accident Only pet insurance policy just covers accidents. Each accident is covered up to the policy limit during the policy term and will continue to be covered until you reach the policy limit.
Get a 5% discount with multi pet
If you have more than one cat or dog in your home, a multi pet policy could be the perfect fit. For every additional pet you add to your multi pet cover, you’ll get a 5% discount, and you’ll get that every year you renew with Admiral!

Your questions answered
What is lifetime cover?
Lifetime cover means you can make continued claims for illnesses and injuries up to the maximum amount of vet’s fees covered by your insurance cover. This amount resets each time you renew as long as your payments are up to date, the policy is live and we can offer you renewal.
What would my excess be?
An excess of £85 is deducted from your benefit for each individual illness or accidental injury treated. For pets over six-years-old an additional 10% will be deducted for Veterinary Fees, Complementary Medicine, Cruciate Ligament Damage, Special Diet and Dentistry (where these are covered) for each claim payment. A £250 excess applies once per claim for Third Party Liability cover (dogs only).
Will my pet be covered for third party damage?
If your pet damages someone else's personal items while in their property, Accidental Damage (Premier and Premier Plus Only) will cover the cost of repairing the damage or replacing the item, subject to the cover limit. Exceptions apply, see Section 8 of the policy booklet for full terms and conditions.
What is Third Party Liability (Dogs Only)?
This offers cover if your dog injures a person or another animal or causes damage to a property. It covers compensation, claimant costs and expenses such as legal costs and expenses subject to the cover limit. See Section 10 of the policy booklet for full terms and conditions.
Is there an age limit for insuring my pet?
Your pet must be at least eight-weeks-old before we can offer cover. There is no upper age limit, making our cover perfect for older pets too.

Which vet can I use?
We know many people build up a longstanding trusting relationship with their vet practice, which is why we don't want to tell you which vet to use. We recommend taking your pet for regular check-ups, as well as maintaining their vaccinations, flea and worm treatment.
If you've not registered with a practice yet, visit the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons database to find a vet near you.
