Pet insurance

Insurer and nominated carer for the animals

Some steps differ by region inside the country.

Where

The pet insurer, and whoever is now caring for the animals.

How

Establish who is caring for the animals and whether that is a permanent arrangement. Contact the insurer to transfer the policy to the new keeper rather than cancelling it. Update the microchip registration to the new keeper's details. Tell the vet practice about the change of keeper and of the death.

What to bring

The policy number The pet's details and microchip number A certified copy of the death certificate
