Pet Proactive Insurance Policies
If your Pet is insured with Pet Proactive, then great news - all insurance claims can be undertaken directly with NO admin fee. This is because Pet Proactive can access our database and advise us of any exclusions at the start of the policy, and there is a single annual excess of £100 regardless of the number of claims submitted or the number of conditions claimed for per year.

Below is our policy for undertaking direct claims with insurance companies other than Pet Proactive (see above). This means that we will leave your balance outstanding until the insurance company settles the claim. We will happily undertake direct claims for any single invoice of £500 or more. There is a £20 admin fee for undertaking direct insurance claims.
However, we need to clarify certain information about your insurance policy before we can agree to a direct claim.
- Firstly, you need to contact your insurance company and give permission for us to speak to them about your insurance policy.
- Once this has been done, we will call the insurance company to confirm the following information:
- That your policy is current and active
- The date that you took the policy out (ie before the condition that we are claiming for first occurred)
- What the excess is on your policy (this is normally a fixed amount that you have to pay before any payments are made by the insurance company, however, older animals often require an additional percentage of each claim to be covered by the policy holder)
- If there are any exclusions (conditions that are not covered) on your policy
- What the financial limits are on your policy
- If the insurance company gives no reason why your pet will not be covered for the condition that we wish to claim for, then we will undertake a direct claim.
- You will need to sign a disclaimer confirming that you agree to settle the outstanding balance on your account in the event that the insurance company does not cover part or all of the claim.
- You will need to pay your excess at the time you collect your pet.
If you have any queries about any of the above, please feel free to contact us.
