Jo,
Try checking some of the more pricey policies on offer, perhaps via your vet. Generally, I`ve found you pay for what you get. Dont cancel your policy yet until you`ve done the research! You may find your vet needs to refer you to a behaviourist themselves for you to be able to claim. This is often the case for "extras" such as hydrotherapy, accupuncture etc. Some policies have limits on how much you can claim per condition, how long you can claim for that condition for or how much excess you have to pay. One thing to watch is that if your dog has a pre-existing condition when you take out the insurance, you usually cannot claim for that condition or switch between insurance companies to and still be covered if you have already claimed for a condition. this might apply to a behaviour-related claim too. The premiums seem to have gone through the roof recently. I guess more people are claiming for things they may have just paid for in the past. Dont know if this is any help to you. It can be confusing! Neutered pets are happy pets! Please spay or neuter your pets. There are thousands in rescue waiting for loving homes, and not enough people to take them on.

Helping to give ex-battery hens a fresh start! http://thevintagebelles.blogspot.co.uk/ To be honest we have always paid the money, we would give to insurance, into a building society as the dog fund.
It is there all the time and we now have enough that we could pay for private medical care for oursleves to be honest. The only thing is you have to hope that the first dog is healthy enough for you to build up a little bit. To pay for major problems. It started when we had a multi dog household and they didn't do block insurance. We would have had to pay for all eight dog seperately. So we just paid an amount in. Nothing yet has phased us and we have had two dogs with auto immune problems over the years. Wendy http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning TBH I have started to do the same recently when the premiums went up as mine are all oldies now.
I did have a few huge claims years ago, and so kept up with the premiums until they all hit 10, and by then I guessed they would not need too many big things in the future. All mine were with PP, but I did get a good deal as I was in the know, so to speak, with them! Neutered pets are happy pets! Please spay or neuter your pets. There are thousands in rescue waiting for loving homes, and not enough people to take them on.
we do the same as Wendy, we pay money into an account for the dogs each month to cover any unexpected bills and funeral costs for the dogs. We dont take the boosters or worming money out of that as that would not be covered anyway.
5 dogs, 15 chickens (6 ex batts) 1 cockerel, and very limited tech skills
