Around 42 per cent of people in the UK would always choose their cat or dog over their partner, according to a recent survey carried out by M&S Pet Insurance .
The survey revealed that 42 per cent of cat and dog owners would cancel a date if their pet was ill. Yet, even though we are a pet loving nation, take-up of pet insurance is still relatively low. Only 42 per cent of dog owners and 26 per cent of cat owners have taken out any pet insurance for their animal.
Andrew Ferguson, M&S head of insurance, said: “Our survey shows that Britain is truly a pet-loving nation. It is surprising therefore, that ownership of pet insurance remains relatively low. Taking out insurance can avoid the need for large payments when your pet needs treatment.”
He added that pet owners should ensure the policy they choose offers the appropriate level of cover. M&S Premier Pet Insurance offers up to 7,000 pounds Sterling a year in vets fees for illness and injury .
