PDSA: Pet insurance is strongly recommended

An animal charity has stated that pet insurance is very important, particularly because these creatures quickly become part of the family.

Elaine Pendlebury, senior veterinary surgeon for the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), said: "I strongly recommend pet insurance for pet owners. There are certain things you can plan for, but there will always be the unexpected."

She pointed out that families should choose a policy that best suits their needs as it could help them avoid paying for aspects cover they do not really need.

Indeed, Ms Pendlebury explained that the health and wellbeing of critters is "vital" and it is "encouraging" that more people are investing in suitable care options.

Her comments came in response to figures from the Pet Food Manufacturer's Association, which revealed there are 24 million pets in the UK - dogs were reportedly the most popular, followed by cats, which make up 19 per cent of the animals owned.
