Compare pet insurance for multiple pets
How does multi-pet insurance work?
Getting insurance for more than one pet is easy. During the quote collection process, you’ll have the option to add another pet - do this. Then you will be shown two different pet insurance options at the end of your quote - one for each pet.
Each pet will have their own policy but you can manage it all within the one quote and pay for it together. The policies do not have to be the same. For example, you can get a policy with base level coverage for one pet and a policy with mid-level coverage for another.
What’s better, is that you’ll likely get a multi-pet insurance discount. Basically, this means you’ll receive a discount on your premium for insuring more than one animal with the same provider. To be entitled to this, you don’t have to take out the policies at the same time. You can take one out and add another later and still get the discount.
Can I insure different types of pets under the same policy?
Insuring any 2 pets under the policy is unlikely as each pet needs their own policy. Even 2 identical dogs would need their own policies.
However, you can insure 2 pets under the same insurer and be eligible for a multi-pet discount, regardless of what types of pets you’re insuring. For example, one pet might be a dog, your other pet might be a cat — both can be insured under the same insurer and you’ll be eligible for a multi-pet discount (provided they offer one).
