What type of cover is best for me?

Compare our two cover options.

Lifetime is our most comprehensive pet cover. Lifetime policies cover your pet for accidents and illnesses up to the policy limit you’ve chosen each year. At renewal, the limit resets.

It’s best if you want long-term cover.

Our Lifetime policy includes:

  • Up to £10,000 in vet fee cover
  • Up to £2,000,000 in third-party liability
  • Up to £2,000 in emergency holiday cancellation cover
  • Behavioural, dental and emergency kennel/cattery cover

What isn't covered by pet insurance?

Pet insurance doesn't cover everything. Here's some things we don't cover.

Pre-existing conditions

We don't cover any illness or accidents that your pet had before your insurance policy starts. We define a pre-existing medical condition as something that:

  • may have been identified by a vet
  • is being investigated by a vet
  • was known to you before your policy starts

It could be diagnosed or undiagnosed.

Claims within the waiting period

A waiting period is the amount of time you must wait after your policy starts before you can make a claim.

We don't cover any accidents that happen within the 24 hours of your policy starting, or any illness your pet gets within the first 14 days.

Routine health treatment

We don't cover any treatments which are considered routine care or any kind of regular treatment that’s needed to keep your pet healthy. This covers things like:

  • vaccination costs
  • flea or parasite control products
  • bathing, grooming, nail clipping or de-matting your pet
  • spaying/castration

Breeding or pregnancy

We don't cover costs for pregnancy, giving birth, or any medical issue to do with your pet breeding. This applies to both accidental and intentional pregnancies.

You could get 10% off if you're an existing Admiral customer too.

There's three simple steps to earn your cashback!

Three steps to earn cashback

It'll take 90 days from when your policy starts to get your cashback - as long as you've made all your payments.

Good to know

When you're buying a cashback policy, you might see other quotes, possibly from a comparison site.

Remember that you'll only earn cashback if you've bought a policy via this page. Make sure you don't retrieve a quote from a previous session either!

You won't be able to get cashback if the policy hasn't come via our cashback partner, Quidco.

Your cashback questions answered

Still got questions? We've got you.

If I retrieve a quote, can I get cashback?

Unfortunately, no. If you retrieve a quote from another or previous session, or via a price comparison site, you won’t earn any cashback.

Can I get cashback over the phone?

No, your quote must be completed online for it to be tracked.

When will I get my cashback?

It will take 90 days from your policy start date, as long as all payments due have been made.

I haven't got my cashback – what do I do?

It will take 90 days from your policy start date, as long as all payments due have been made - so hang tight!

Make sure you make all your insurance payments on time, as this could affect whether you can get your cashback.

It should show up as 'pending' on your Quidco account first. If you can't see it as 'pending' within 45 days, you'll need to submit a missing cashback claim with Quidco.

Log in to your Quidco account or head to their help centre.

Are there any exclusions?

There are a few things to be aware of:

  • you’ll only get one cashback per policy
  • you won’t get your cashback if you cancel your policy – or if we have to cancel your policy for any reason
  • you won’t get your cashback if you don’t keep up with your monthly payments until that 90-day mark
  • you won’t get cashback if you buy through a price comparison website
