🌍 April is Earth Month and at British Pet Insurance, ExoticDirect Pet Insurance, Petcover Austria & Germany we’re celebrating by giving back to the planet. For every pet insurance policy taken out this month, we’re helping protect and grow bee hives through our new partnership with Greenspark🐝

Bees are not just vital for the pollination of plants, but their health and protection is critical for the health of all wildlife! They may be tiny but their presence is hugely important for keeping entire ecosystems thriving.

Did you know they even act as a natural defence against poaching and illegal hunting by deterring activity in sensitive areas? By building beehives in areas of poaching, you can help stop the illegal and cruel hunting of animals like elephants!

🐝 We’ve already protected 1,400 bees in just 4 days, and we’re only just getting started! 🐝

The Petcover Group are committed to protecting all animals — not just the ones that we insure. You can track how many bees we protect this month by keeping an eye on our profile, where you can also find what these numbers mean for the planet.

Hidden costs of owning a pet 🧐

Bringing a pet into your life is rewarding, but are you prepared for the unexpected costs that come with it?

💰 Vet Bills – Accidents and illnesses can happen at any time, and treatment costs can quickly add up.

🏠 Lifestyle Adjustments – From pet-friendly housing to travel restrictions, pets change how we live.

🦴 Daily Expenses – Food, grooming, pet sitters...small costs that add up over time.

That’s why financial planning (and pet insurance) plays a key role in responsible pet ownership, helping to manage unexpected expenses and give pets the care they deserve.

What other pet care costs do owners often overlook? 🐾
