Premier
Tesco Pet Insurance – Premier cover offers long term peace of mind for your cat or dog. Each year Tesco will reinstate your chosen vet fees limit of £2,000, £4,000, £7,500 or £10,000 providing cover is made available to you and you renew. This means that if your pet develops an ongoing illness or a reoccurring illness whilst insured with Tesco Pet Insurance, they won’t put a time limit on how long treatment can last. This applies as long as your policy is renewed, there is no break in cover and your premiums are paid.
Extra
Tesco Pet Insurance - Extra cover is for those who want a little more from their insurance, so you can rest assured they have the extra protection they deserve. Extra cover includes vet fees of up to £4,000 or £7,500 for each eligible illness or injury, until your vet fee limit is reached. This applies as long as your policy is renewed, there is no break in cover and your premiums are paid.
Standard
Tesco Pet Insurance - Standard cover helps provide you with peace of mind should your cat or dog need veterinary treatment for accidents and illnesses. Standard cover provides up to £3,000 for vet fees for each eligible illness or accident for up to 12 months from the first date of treatment. This applies as long as your policy is renewed, there is no break in cover and your premiums are paid.
Additional benefits of Tesco Pet Insurance offered on all Standard, Extra and Premier Cover policies:
Lost pet cover offering up to £1,000 to advertise for your pet (including up to £200 which can be used for a reward).
There is a discount available for each additional pet added to your policy, and 'saying goodbye' cover of £200 for putting your pet to sleep or for burials.
They offer up to £1,000 towards boarding fees or care for your pets if you have unplanned visits to hospital of more than 4 days. They also offer pet travel cover up to your vet fees limit.
Complementary treatments such as hydrotherapy or physiotherapy are included within your vet fee limit, up to £500 on Standard policies and £1,000 on Extra and Premier policies.
Tesco Pet Insurance may choose not to renew a policy. If they do, they will let you know in advance of your renewal date.
Your renewal price increases each year and if a claim is paid, the price you will pay next year can double. There is no limit to how much your renewal price can increase.
Choose an excess of £60, £120 or £200. Excess levels can increase as your pet turns 8 years old.
For Standard and Extra cover, the excess for vet fee claims is payable only once per illness or injury. For Premier cover, the excess for vet fee claims is payable for each illness or accident each year.
For dog insurance third-party liability claims on property damage, £250 excess. If you choose a referral vet from outside the Tesco Bank Pet Insurance network, £200 of the referral vet bill will be paid in addition to the excess.
Pets must be at least 8 weeks old when cover starts, any pre-existing injuries and illness are not covered. Changes in your pet’s health, or behaviour or any illness that develops from these changes within the first 14 days of your cover start date are not covered. Certain breeds of cat and dog are also not covered.
Exclusion Period – 14 days (Standard, Extra and Premier cover).
