I've used Tesco for ages now. If its for a young dog then most companies are ok. It becomes an issue when the dog gets older as most companies won't take out a new policy on a dog over 6 years old(i think). So you need to be with an insurer you are happy with by then so that you can stick with them.

3rd party fire and theft or fully comp

i dont know . all these people out walking their dogs without insurance . what happens when they have a bump with another dog :roll:

do you have to declare any modifications ? are alloy wheels allowed without an increase to the premium ?

Ask your preferred vet which policy they like most, assuming you have a vet you really like. Then check the small print.

I used pet plan for my retriever - no complaints. Recommend by the vet, no qualms in paying out.

Pet plan. . .
As said, check the small print.
Some only run for a year in the event of 'trouble'.
Pet plan paid up no hassle on an ongoing claim for several years treating cancer. . and the return of cancer. . .

Worth every penny. Totally sidesteps the question of termination because you're tight/can't afford it, and leaves you 100% with quality of life to consider. Which should always be the consideration.
. . . unles you have pet wasps. . .
