Pet insurance is the ideal Valentine’s Day gift for a beloved pet

Valentine’s day provides another opportunity for loving pet owners to pamper their furry friends. A quick surf of the Internet shows that there is a huge range of Valentine’s Day products aimed at our pets - from toys and bedding to more exotic items such as jewellery and fragrances! Many owners may plump for that old favourite of tasty snacks, but with around one third of the UK pet population already overweight* is this really the best way to ‘treat’ your pet?

When choosing a gift for your pet, why not spend the money on an option which will not only provide a 'healthy' alternative for your 'moggy' or 'pooch', but will be kinder to your pocket in the long run too - pet insurance!

Sarah Gaskin of pet insurer Cardif Pinnacle says:
“Pets play an important part in our lives so some people may want to treat their cat or dog with a Valentine’s Day gift. Given the alarming number of overweight pets, I’d urge people to consider a healthy option; for instance your dog would probably find a long walk in the park a far greater treat than a box of dog biscuits!

For something longer term you could investigate pet insurance, a product offering lifetime protection for your animal is by far the best.

If you were you to insure your pet with Cardif Pinnacle, we’d cover vet fees of up to £6,000 per year for every year that your dog is covered with us and up to £5,000 for your cat. For a comprehensive list of the benefits our policy offers, a visit to our website (www.pet-healthcare.com) will give you a premium quote that is personalised to your pet.”

Valentine’s Day is a brilliant opportunity to show our feelings for a loved one - why not choose a gift for your pet which keeps giving by buying them insurance cover that allows timely veterinary treatment without financial worry to you!”
