Metro Bank has entered into a partnership with the insurer Cardif Pinnacle via its Everypaw brand, to offer a suite of pet insurance products for dogs, cats, and rabbits.
According to the press release, some of the key features on offer from Everypaw include:
- unlimited 24/7 access to vet nurses and vets.
- 6 levels of lifetime cover to choose from, with two of these 5-star Defaqto rated and a recipient of the Feefo Trusted Service Award.
- Insure several pets for a multi-pet discount.
- Simple claims process through the online Pet Portal, with payments sent direct to your vet.
- Manage policies online at any time.
The Bank has conducted research revealing that over 8 in 10 pet owners say their pet has been important to their mental and physical health during the pandemic. Meanwhile, 6 in 10 respondents say that their pet receives more attention than anyone else in their household.
Metro Bank’s study also highlighted that while 61% said they would always get their pet insured the reality is that over half of pet owners don’t actually have insurance cover for their animals.
