Making claims, the amount of cover & the policies themselves should be the same across the board. Insurance co. can still charge differing amounts depending on the animal but people will know what is covered from day 1

Currently pet insurance Co. can word polices in a way that leaves you believing your pet is covered for anything. This causes numerous failed claims; people getting into debt; animals not getting the treatment that they need; animals being abandoned and leaves many pets without cover as people have lost faith in the insurance companies.
Currently only 1 in 4 dog owners and 1 in 7 Cat owners have pet insurance
The polices need to be clear, the cover fair and these need to be the same for all
