Treacle and Baloo may be brothers from different mothers, but they are inseparable 🫶

🐾 Treacle is the ‘big boy’ at 6.2kg and proudly patrols the house at all hours while singing the song of his people. He’s an indoor explorer who loves supervised garden adventures on his harness!

🐾 Baloo is the ‘dinky blue boy’ at 3.9kg. He's 5 months younger than Treacle but is full of personality!

We insure both boys so their humans have peace of mind knowing they’re protected 💙

These three incredible pups all have big personalities 🐶

🐾 Adler (20kg) started as a companion dog and became a therapy dog for the owner's late daughter. She’s been everywhere, from the zoo to concerts, rubbing shoulders with celebrities along the way! Adler is a total star with her award-winning eyes 🤩

🐾 Duke (45kg) is a French import and the household mastermind. At just four months old he was opening doors...and locking his humans out! He's the biggest cuddler but his love might knock you off your feet. He's also won a prize for being the loudest dog as his bark echoes through the woods 🌲

🐾 Toby (64kg) is a gentle giant who won 'Best Puppy in Show' just before his first birthday. He's not a huge toy fan but, if there’s food around, his nose knows! He’s the ultimate snuggle buddy and loves everyone he meets ❤️

We love hearing all about your animal friends insured with us. Drop a comment below if you've got a loveable pet story you'd like to share 👇

Why pet insurance has never been more important 🐾

A recent BBC report has shed light on a deeply concerning issue. Some vets are feeling pressured to increase prices or recommend unnecessary treatments due in part to the rising costs of running a veterinary practice and the growing presence of corporate ownership in the sector.

👉 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62zzegvk33o

Pet owners in the UK are also speaking out. In a Reddit thread*, many share personal experiences of facing unexpected vet bills, struggling to access affordable care, or questioning whether treatments were driven by genuine need or financial incentive.

While the vast majority of vets do incredible, compassionate work under immense pressure, it’s clear the system is changing...and not always in ways that benefit pets or their people.

So where does that leave pet owners?

That’s where pet insurance can play a crucial role. It helps remove the financial fear from decision-making, giving owners confidence to say “yes” to the treatment their pet needs without hesitation. It also helps veterinary teams provide the best possible care without needing to second-guess whether a client can afford it.

We believe every pet deserves access to care, and every owner deserves peace of mind. Insurance isn’t just about bills. It’s about protecting the bond between you and your best friend ❤️💙

Some tell the BBC they are encouraged to compete over the number of procedures they carry out on pets.

🌍 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.
