Where to start

UK pet insurance covers around 4.7 million policies in 2024 (ABI), generating £1.6 billion in gross written premium. Average annual premiums sit at £428 for dogs and £292 for cats. The market is fragmented across 30+ FCA-authorised insurers, supermarket-branded panels, and specialist underwriters. Unlike car insurance, comparison sites have weaker market share, and brand loyalty plays a bigger role in renewal decisions.

This hub maps every guide we publish on pet insurance. Start with our flagship best-of comparison if you are buying for the first time. If you have a specific situation - older pet, pre-existing conditions, multi-pet household - jump straight to the relevant guide.
