Jargon buster

Our jargon buster is designed to explain the most commonly used terms you may come across when taking out a pet insurance policy.

Contribution

Contribution means the percentage you must pay towards any claim for vet fees in addition to your excess. If a contribution applies to your policy this will be shown on your Schedule.

Endorsement

An endorsement is a change to the pre-printed policy document that reflects your individual terms and conditions.

Excess

Your excess is the first amount of each and every claim that you are required to pay.

Exclusions

Exclusions are the causes of loss or damage that your pet is not covered for under your pet insurance and are set out in your policy document.

Insurance Premium Tax (IPT)

IPT is a tax on general insurance premiums. This is included in the price of your pet insurance.

Pet Travel Scheme (PETS)

The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is the system that allowed cats and dogs to re-enter the UK without quarantine. The rules for taking your pet abroad have changed now that the UK is no longer part of the EU. Please see the Government's guidance on pet travel to and from Great Britain for more information.

Policyholder

The policyholder is the owner of the pet.

Third party liability

Third party liability covers up to a specified amount if your pet causes injury to someone else or damage to their property for which you are legally liable (this applies to dogs only).
