What pet insurance can mean for you and your pet. 🩺
It truly is a privilege to own and care for a pet. However, you must consider the different costs when becoming a pet owner.
Even when you have everything planned and budgeted, you cannot predict the future and any unexpected veterinary or pet-related costs that might arise.
Unneutered female dogs are at risk of womb infections due to the hormones produced during their normal reproductive cycle ♀️ 🐕
This is one of the reasons why we recommend that owners always consider neutering their pets, unless they are planning on breeding!

Diabetes mellitus is a hormonal disease that often affects our cats 🐈
All cats can suffer from diabetes; however, it is most commonly diagnosed in older and obese cats.
It occurs because there's not enough insulin to keep the blood sugar concentration within normal values or because the cells become resistant to its effect.
For most cats, insulin therapy along with dietary management is the treatment of choice. Though it's a chronic disease, with proper veterinary monitoring, diabetic cats can lead long and happy lives 🥰
There are a number of diseases that can cause nausea and vomiting in dogs, from life-threatening intoxications to something as harmless as motion sickness from car rides.
A frequent cause of sickness that often results in dramatic episodes of vomiting is scavenging behaviour, which is natural to dogs 🐶
Depending on its intensity, duration and cause, vomiting can result in severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which will affect all of your pets’ bodily functions.
So, what can you do in these situations? Watch our video to find out 👀

Fits can have different presentations ranging from localised tremors to pets losing consciousness, shaking uncontrollably, vocalising, and paddling.
Afterwards, it is normal that they feel disoriented for a while.
If your pet has a fit, please try to remain calm as this will be the only way you can help them.
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a frequently diagnosed problem in cats, with overweight animals and those who don't exercise often seeming to be more at risk.
As there are many conditions that can cause FLUTD, please talk to our team if you notice your cat is having problems urinating. Some of these, like complete urethral obstructions, are medical emergencies and can be fatal if left untreated ⚠️
