Vet fees
Worried about unexpected vet bills? At LV=, all of our policies cover vet fees up to an agreed limit.
A Time Limited policy provides cover for an illness or condition for up to 12 months from the date of your pet's first treatment. There are two levels of Time Limited vet cover: up to £1,500 or up to £2,500.
Lifetime lets you claim for vet fees up to your chosen limit each year. There are three levels of Lifetime vet fee cover: £3,000, £5,000 or £10,000.
Don't forget: if your pet has any pre-existing medical conditions when you take out your policy, we won't cover these or any condition linked to them.
Complementary treatments
Pooch off to physio? Cat need to see a chiropractor? Our pet insurance includes complementary treatments.

So if your vet recommends a treatment like acupuncture, hydrotherapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy or chiropractic therapy, we've got you covered.

Third party liability
Imagine you're out for a lovely walk in the country with your dog. They are off the lead, exploring all the rabbit holes and sploshing in puddles. Suddenly, they catch sight of someone on a bicycle, chase and bump into them, causing them to fall off and hurt themselves.
Because you're responsible for your dog's behaviour, the cyclist could sue you for negligence. They could make a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical treatment or demand compensation.
Our policies offer you up to £2million third party liability cover for costs and compensation if your dog has injured someone, or caused damage to someone's property.
Accidental damage
If your pet causes accidental damage to someone's personal property while you're visiting them, you'll be able to claim up to £750. There are some restrictions to this cover, so make sure you read your policy documents carefully.
Accidental damage cover is only included with our £10,000 Lifetime policy.
Overseas cover
Off on an adventure? Here's one less thing to worry about: if you take your pet on holiday and they get ill, we'll cover the cost of vet care abroad up to the limit on your policy.
LV= pet insurance also covers costs for quarantine kennelling and replacing a pet passport or a third country official vet certificate for your pet.
Our overseas pet cover means you (and your furry family member) can kick back, relax and enjoy your holiday.
Advertising/rewards
Lost pet? We'll cover you for advertising and reward costs, so you can be reunited sooner
We know it's stressful and upsetting when pets go missing. If your pet's lost or stolen and you need to advertise to find them, we'll reimburse your advertising costs up to £1,500. We also give you the option to offer a maximum reward of £500, so you can be reunited with your pet sooner.
This cover is included in all our Time Limited and Lifetime policies.
Death from illness or accident
We'll cover you for the death of your pet from illness or accident.
Pets are like family, and we know losing them can be devastating. Our Time Limited and Lifetime policies include death from illness cover. We'll reimburse you for the price you paid for your pet up to £1500 if your pet dies at an unusually young age as a result of illness or due to an accident.
Boarding or pet minding fees
If you're in hospital for four days or longer, and no one's able to look after your pet, you can claim up to £1,500 to cover boarding costs for the whole of your hospital stay.
Lifetime policies also include additional boarding costs if you're delayed returning from your holiday.
