Unexpected illness and injury can happen to any pet, and can place an emotional and financial burden on pet owners. We are often asked about pet insurance for exotic pets, and the good news is that there are a range of different insurance cover options for your exotic pets.
Policies differ, and they are offered for Birds, Reptiles, Rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. Please read all policy documents carefully before signing up to make sure you get the benefits your pet needs. For peace of mind, please consider pet insurance or setting up an emergency fund for your exotic pet.
