Am I covered for conditions my pet has suffered in the past?

No, unless the problems are totally unrelated. For example, if your dog cut his leg before your policy start date and this healed, and then your dog was unfortunate enough to cut his leg again, this would be classed as a new condition and would be covered under the terms of the policy. However if the original cut did not heal properly and your pet needed further treatment, this would not be covered. Symptoms exhibited before the policy start date that are subsequently diagnosed are not covered either.

• Does Tesco Pet Insurance cover hereditary and congenital conditions?
• What should I do if my pet is referred to a specialist?
• I'm looking for pet insurance quotes for my dog club, and wondered if you have a policy to cover clubs?
• My pet has a condition that needs ongoing treatment. Do I need to wait until the treatment is finished before I make a claim?
• Can I insure my horse, rabbit or guinea pig?
