Pet insurance is an important consideration for any pet owner regardless of whether an animal is healthy or not, a leading pet charity claims. 
Jenny Davies, press officer for pet charity PDSA, pointed that insurance can provide cover for unexpected veterinary fees and an owner’s peace of mind.
“It is also an important consideration when thinking about the owner’s liability for their pet’s actions, such as damage to a person or property,” she said.
According to the charity, it is also important for pet owners to find out as much as possible about the breed of animal they have as this can play an important factor in how much vet’s fees come to.
Ms Davies said this was important as certain pets are more susceptible to certain conditions.
Meanwhile, recent research from the PDSA showed that one in three dogs and one in four cats are overweight
The data was collected from over 5,000 dogs assessed on the charity’s PetCheck vehicle and over 500 pets assessed in PDSA’s PetAid hospitals.
