How to think about your options
Liability-Only Cover
Best for legal complianceIdeal if your main goal is to meet legal requirements and protect yourself against third-party claims.
- Usually the cheapest option
- Best suited to dog owners focused on compliance
- Does not usually include treatment for your own pet
Basic Cover
Best for valueA good middle-ground option for pet owners who want more than legal cover without paying for a premium policy.
- Often includes some treatment or accident cover
- May include liability depending on provider
- Good for budget-conscious owners who still want some protection
Comprehensive Cover
Best for peace of mindBest for owners who want stronger cover for illness, accidents, surgery, and more expensive treatment.
- Broader protection than liability-only or basic plans
- Higher monthly cost
- Best suited to owners who want fewer surprises
Expat-Friendly Option
Best for clarityBest for expats who want policies that are easier to understand and compare with confidence.
- Useful if you value clarity as much as price
- Focus on documentation, support, and ease of use
- Good starting point if you are unsure what you need
