If you’re an animal fanatic looking to cover more than one pet there’s a further 5% discount for every other policy you take out

It’s now possible to get discounts of up to 25% on Virgin pet insurance, plus you can pay monthly without incurring any additional costs.

Apply online for Virgin pet insurance

One of the key benefits on offer with the Virgin pet insurance ‘extra’ package is that there’s no time limit on how long they’ll cover an injury or illness to your put (up to a total cost of £6,000).

Many pet insurance policies you buy only cover the pet over a short period – usually between six months and a year – on any specific claim, so unless your pet heals quickly, you’ll be left footing the bill as well as paying your premiums.

Multiple discounts on offer

If you apply for Virgin pet insurance online you will get a 10% discount right away, while those who already have a policy with Virgin Money – be it home insurance, travel, car or life insurance – will get a further 10% off too.

And finally, if you’re an animal fanatic who’s looking to cover more than one pet, there’s a further 5% discount for every other policy you take out.

That means you can shave up to a quarter off your total costs.

Other added bonuses

There’s also an option to add pet travel cover to your Virgin pet insurance policy, which offers to pay up to £1,000 for a holiday that was cut short or cancelled due to loss, illness or injury of your pet.

If something did happen to your pet, or even if you just need someone to take care of it for a short while, Virgin Money also offers access to four help lines to help you with your query. These are: 'Find a vet', 'Bereavement counselling', 'Pet minder' and 'Pet legal'.
