M&S Pet Insurance is arranged, administered and underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Ltd (RSA).
What is lifetime cover?
With lifetime cover* you could claim for accidents and illnesses that happen while insured, up to your chosen vet fees limit each year. If you renew your policy with no break in cover, your chosen vet fees limit each year will reinstate and you'll be able to continue to claim for accidents and illnesses that require ongoing vet treatment as well as those that need one off or shorter treatments. Once your vet fees limit has been reached you will not be able to claim again until the policy is renewed and the vet fees limit is reset.
With Premier and Plus policies you could choose a total annual vet fees limit of £2,000, £3,000, £5,000, £7,000 or £10,000.
Standard policies gives cover for vet fees of up to £1,000 for each accident or illness each year up to a total annual limit of £4,000.

FAQs
† Excludes renewals and amendments to existing policies. As pets get older, sadly they're more likely to get ill. In fact, RSA claims data shows that the cost of looking after your pet's health doubles every four to five years. That's why your renewal price increases each year and your excess will increase when your pet turns nine. Unfortunately, once a pet has been taken ill, they're more likely to get ill again. That's why, if a claim if paid, the price you will pay next year can double. How much they go up is different for everyone and depends on things like your pet's breed, their age and health.
* Whatever policy you choose you will not be able to claim for any changes in your pet's health or behaviour before a policy is started or in the first 14 days of cover or for death from illness after your pet's 9th birthday. Please note that if you change your level of cover at renewal, the maximum amount you can claim may change and you may no longer be covered for existing conditions.
