For many pet owners, insurance can be a grey area, especially when it comes to choosing the right policy for their pedigree pet. A pedigree cat or dog is born from parents who are the same breed, for example, a Labrador or Bengal Cat.
Some pedigree breeds are more likely to develop hereditary conditions than mixed-breed pets (mongrels/moggies), so naturally owners sometimes assume that they will be paying more to insure their pedigree pup or kitten, as they are at an increased likelihood of making a claim.
Pets in a Pickle take into consideration more than just the lineage of your furry friend.
Premiums are calculated with other factors than just breeds, things such as the age of your pet at the start of the policy and where you live can also affect it.
Below are the most claimed for pedigree breeds, from Pets in a Pickle claims settled between Jan- Dec 2021:
- French Bulldog
- Jack Russell Terrier
- Yorkshire Terrier
- Bengal
- Ragdoll
- British Shorthair
