We Care For Your Pet
and Your Family

Why Pets in a Pickle? We know how wonderfully quirky and curious pets are – and that’s why we love them.

Our pets are so much more than a house-mate, they are family. And when your little buddy gets sick or injured, we know how expensive and stressful things can get.

So, we’re here to make sure you can focus on enjoying time with your pets, whilst we handle the serious stuff.

Keep them protected with Pets in a Pickle, so you have peace of mind, and they can carry on doing their brilliantly quirky thing!

Why Pet Insurance?

As a Pets in a Pickle customer, you become part of our community of pet lovers with the mutual aim of ensuring our pets are protected for when the unexpected happens.

Healthcare

Dogs and cats can get sick just like us and it’s difficult to anticipate how much veterinary treatment can cost.

Treatment is constantly advancing, which means that costs also increase every year.

Costs

Dog owners accounted for approximately one third of claims notified, surpassing 1m in 2022 (up 34%). As gross claims reached £800m in 2022, the average claim fell by 8%, from £849 to £777. This is the first time the average claim value has fallen since 2017.

In 2022, for cats, the total number of claims notified and claims incurred increased to 270,000 and £180m, respectively. Here, the average cat claim increased to £682 per claim.

You can purchase a pet insurance policy as soon as your cat or dog turns eight weeks old.

Key fact: Any pre-existing conditions tend to not be covered if they have happened any time prior to an insurance policy being set up.
