Pet Insurance (Dog)
We are taking our Standard Poodle (Blake) to France and onto Spain next month for the first timeand we are concerned that if there was an incident and we needed to take him to the vets how easy would this be for us. We are going to check our Pet Insurance
to see if we are covered for overseas treatment. Has any fellow motorhome/Caravaners had the unfortunate experience of the need to attend a vets overseas for emergency treatment. We understand the requirement of the Pet Passport and the visit to the vets on
our return.

That's a very interesting question Apache - I am interested to read replies. My guess is that you would be covered but would need to pay up front and claim after the event. This is pure speculation and different insurance companies will probably have different
conditions. We are covered with pet insurance through the Club.David

Haven't had the need to use it, but our dogs insurance plan includes 6 months cover abroad per year. Although it states 'Pay Vet Direct', in this case presume I would have to pay the fees and claim it back to the maximum of my policy.
We have insured her with 'Aviva' and the Gold policy, with repatriation covered through Red Pennent.

I found the routine vet prices (e.g. health check and worming tablet €34) to be lower than the UK the only reason I took out pet insurance was for pulic liability. I have since cancelled it due to the ongoing increases in price for nothing more than
the dog was a year older. I now put the premium into a easy access isa where I get interest on it0
