The wisdom of / . . ' . I MONTH insuring your pet FREEI FIRST MONTH Two out of three pets require veterinary treatment each year and fortunately, veterinary science can perform miracles to improve the health of pets. But as technology rapidly advances, so does the cost.

Even non-urgent treatment can amount to hundreds of pounds and if your pet is ill, the last thing you want to worry about is the bill.

Whether you have a dog or cat, a cross-breed or a show champion, Petplan can cover the cost of vet treatment, third party liability and more.

Petplan is the UK's leading pet insurance specialist and we pay out more than £1/4 million in claims every week.

Insuring your pet could cost just a few pounds each month and as a RNLI supporter you'll be entitled to your first months' insurance absolutely free. Plus, a contribution of 5% will be made to RNLI funds.

Call the freephone number and Petplan will provide you with full details and the discounted cost of cover for your pet.
