Welcome to Travel Pet
Looking forward to your holiday but feeling sad on leaving your beloved pet behind? With the introduction of new laws which came in a few years ago it is now easy to take you’re pet on holiday with you as long as you have a pet passport and the appropriate vaccinations. Pet travel insurance means you no longer have to pay for the expense of boarding kennels for your dog or cat. They can accompany you and your family on your holiday and return to the UK without the need for 6 months quarantine.
Great news, our pets are a source of constant joy but they should also be given the same consideration when planning a holiday. Pets can get lost, stolen, ill or injured and require emergency vet treatment. They may unintentionally cause an accident and leave you with a huge liability bill. It is therefore very important to take out the appropriate pet travel insurance. Just as you wouldn’t dream of going on holiday without the appropriate travel insurance for yourself, when it comes to insuring your pet you should take the same stringent precautions.
You never know what trouble your pet could get into, and you need to protect yourself from any possible hefty financial fallout you could suffer if anything were to go wrong. Travelpet insurance has a policy to suit your pet and can be taken in the form of Single Trip or Multiple Trip policies for those lucky pets that can travel on multiple trips throughout the year.
If you are thinking of taking your pet on holiday you should note that you can only take your pet to certain countries, details of these and more information can be found on the Defra website. Before you take your pet on holiday with you, there are a number of things that you have to do. Your pet will require:
- a microchip inserted
- a vaccination for rabies
- an overall health check
- treatment for parasites and ticks
Once these steps have been taken, you can then apply for a pet passport. However, this can take six months to come through after the application has been made, so make sure that you plan for the trip well in advance.
