🚨 Pet First Aid 🚨

What to do if your pet is choking...

We all know pets love to chew, nibble, and sometimes swallow things they shouldn’t! Whether it’s a toy, treat, or even part of their dinner, choking can happen — and knowing what to do can save your furry friend’s life.

Did you know? In January 2024, dental disease was the most commonly claimed condition for cats through our pet insurance 🦷🐱

Just like us, our feline friends need proper dental care to stay healthy and happy. But, cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so dental issues can often go unnoticed.

Check out our latest blog on how to keep your cats teeth as healthy as possible 💻

Is it worth insuring your senior dog? 🐶

As our dogs grow older, they need extra care and attention — just like us humans. On average, dogs live between 10–13 years, with smaller breeds often living even longer. By the time they reach their golden years (around 7 for larger dogs and 10 for smaller breeds), their health can start to decline.

So, is it worth insuring a senior dog? Absolutely. Because they’ve given us their best years — now it’s our turn to look after them ❤️

Did you know? In 2024, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was the most commonly claimed-for dog breed through our pet insurance 🏆

Known for their loyalty, loving nature, and big smiles “Staffies” are often described as the perfect family dog 🐶❤️

While they’re tough little athletes, like all dogs, Staffies can experience health issues that may require veterinary care, such as hip dysplasia or skin conditions.

Here’s why we (and so many pet parents) adore this breed.

Drop a 🐾 in the comments if you’ve got a Staffie.

Fireworks may light up the skies, but they can shake up our furry friends 🎆🐾

While we humans enjoy the sparkle and celebration, the loud bangs and bright flashes can be frightening for pets. Unlike thunderstorms, fireworks are unpredictable, and that can leave our companions feeling anxious and overwhelmed.

🐶 Dogs’ super-sensitive hearing makes those booms feel extra loud.
🐱 Cats can be startled by the sudden noise and flashing lights.

But don’t worry because we’re here to help! Here are some easy tips to keep your pets calm, safe, and happy when the fireworks begin:
