Overweight animals covered by Sainsburys pet insurance

Tue, 06 Apr 2010

A study conducted by the NHS revealed that 9.4 per cent of animals were too fat, while a further 29 per cent were above the recommended weight .

Lucy Hunter, manager for Sainsburys pet insurance, commented it was the owner's responsibility to ensure their pets are fed properly because most animals will eat whatever quantity of food they are given. She said: "The saddest thing about this research is the fact that the pets are not to blame. A lack of exercise and a poor diet, or overeating, is causing our pets' weight to balloon."

Sainsbury's Pet Insurance offers a limit of £7,500 for vet fees in accordance with conditions.

A recent decision to review the Dangerous Dogs Act could bring about compulsory measures which may see owners having to take out third party insurance in order to compensate the victims of dog attacks, according to the price comparison website Confused.com.
