Tesco is offering a 20 per cent discount on its pet insurance until 15th October 2010.
Pet owners can protect their cats and dogs against the cost of unexpected veterinary bills from £5.27 on the Standard policy with the online discount.
According to recent research, a visit to a local vet practice can end up costing thousands of pounds and uninsured pet owners may then have to face the difficult choice of putting their four-legged friend to bed if they cannot afford to pay the bill.
Tesco pet insurance, which has been rated three and a half stars on BestPetInsuranceReview.co.uk, a website for customer reviews, starts from £5.27 for cats and £9.25 for dogs . Customers are able to benefit from up to £4,000 towards vet fees for each unrelated condition, use free helplines to find a vet or get pet advice and also get cover for third party liability, which is an essential benefit for dog owners.
