Your fluffy friends have such a short time with us, so it is worth getting it right.
New free tool
Put in your excess, co-payment and limit, pick a real vet bill like a cruciate operation or years of arthritis, and see who pays what. Lifetime, maximum benefit and time-limited cover give very different answers.
Insurance & Costs
Our Pets at Home insurance review: lifetime cover up to £15,000 a year, one excess a year, prescription food partly covered, and the breed, age and aggression rules we found in the full policy wording it sent us.
Insurance & Costs
Our Petgevity review: lifetime cover up to £15,000 a year, no compulsory co-payment on Lifetime Plus, declared pre-existing conditions considered, up to eight pets on one policy, and what we found in the policy wording.
Insurance & Costs
Which big-name UK pet insurance policies to think twice about, and what to switch to instead. Time-limited cover from household brands, low lifetime limits, and co-payments that start at 4 or 5, all from the insurers' own documents.
Insurance & Costs
What a pet insurance co-payment is, how it differs from the excess, how much it adds to a claim, and the age each UK insurer starts charging one. In plain English, from the policy documents.
Training & Behaviour
Jumps, a tunnel and weave poles are the three pieces worth having at home, and contact obstacles are best left to your club. What to look for in each, the sizes used at UK shows, and how to practise without injuring your dog.
Training & Behaviour
Hoopers swaps agility's jumps and weave poles for hoops, barrels and tunnels, so it is far gentler on joints. How the two sports differ, which dogs and handlers each one suits, and how to find a class in the UK.
It’s no secret that almost everyone loves dogs, and that includes us! Here on Floofers, we’ll talk you through all the basics as well as the more advanced stuff.
