Look for a lifetime policy with a high annual vet fee limit. This ensures that any ongoing conditions your Show Border Collie develops will remain covered year after year, rather than being excluded after a set period or payout limit.
Check the excess amount, whether dental cover and complementary therapies are included, and whether the insurer has a good claims track record. Reading reviews from other dog owners is helpful when comparing providers.
