Pets at Home insurance launches exclusively at Gocompare.com

7th August 2012 Print

Comparison website Gocompare.com has welcomed Pets at Home exclusively to its pet insurance comparison panel.

This is the first time that Pets at Home has made its pet insurance policies available through a comparison site, launching exclusively at Gocompare.com. Pet owners will be able to choose from four policies, and the retailer is giving away free vouchers to spend in-store with each policy sold.

Mark Greening, head of home and pet insurance at Gocompare.com, said, "The addition of Pets at Home to the panel will bring further choice and breadth of cover for our customers. It is a well-known and trusted brand and with four policies to choose from, pet owners will benefit from a range of cover options to suit their needs.

"Our research shows that 86 per cent of pet owners consider their pet to be part of the family, but 56 per cent do not take out pet insurance cover, with a quarter saying they can't afford the expense. Our aim is to help pet owners compare a range of policies and make potential savings, without having to compromise on cover. And with a pet insurance policy costing from as little as £4.41 per month, it doesn't have to cost the earth to get peace of mind should your pet become seriously ill or injured.

Rob Swyer, Business Development Director at Pets at Home, said: "Like everything we do, our policies have been developed with the pet at the forefront of our mind. Unlike other insurers, we haven't gone with a ‘one size fits all' approach. We've developed a range of policies specifically for dogs and cats, allowing the customer to choose the level of cover that best suits their pet and their budget.

"Most providers tend to offer a generic ‘pet' policy that can cover a cat or a dog but. as a business of pet experts we understand that different pets have different health care needs, suffer from different conditions, and as a result, need different levels of veterinary cover."

As well as pet insurance, Gocompare.com customers can compare a wide variety of other products and services, including car, home and travel insurance, gas and electricity and other household services.
