We are all members of BASC so I have just emailled them asking if their public liability cover extends to the dogs.
Please insure your dogs

Clodagh, I totally agree with you re: Dogs Trust, would never donate or give them money normally and still don't if they are collecting etc but I couldn't find 3rd party liability for a dog anywhere but with them that offers such cover. I am a hypocrite but it would be irresponsible of me not to have this insurance. If people can find it I will happily change.

All of my dogs and cats are insured
Over the past 3 years the insurance have paid the following
£5000 spinal surgery on cat following an RTA
£3000 when my whippet broke her leg including hydrotherapy
£800 bloods and investigative treatment on skin issue
£500 removal of hysteocytoma
£380 stitch up after a skin tear on flank
£600 lameness investigation, xrays etc.
I would be pretty broke right now if I didn't have insurance!

Section 5 - insurance, which I interpret as "only when it's working". I insure mine through BASC with Agria and I have to say they have been wonderful to date.

Ive just had a $2500 bill for my cat, and as we drove home my OH said he wished she was insured.
I pointed out to him that she is 12 years old ( at least. Shes a moggy from the pound, so can't be sure ), had pancreatitis as a 2 yr old, dreadful teeth, hip dysplasia, and arthritis in her back legs. I'm pretty sure that there isn't an insurance company that would insure her !
The other cat we are ahead on I reckon, only had to pay for routine vaccines so far, so I think it evens out.
Pet insurance seems to be a growing business here though for dogs and cats, but I think only petplan do horse insurance.

You would be amazed how many don't! I recently dealt with a claim where a person was injured in a road accident involving a dog and despite living in a £1million house the dog did not have liability cover so we sued him personally with a view to getting a charge on his property to ensure the injured person got compensation. He was lucky the accident was not more serious as these claims can easily run into millions.
