Caring for your dog, whether it’s a gun dog or a pet, is a big responsibility. That’s why BASC has teamed up with Petplan, the UK’s largest pet insurance provider (Datamonitor 2010), and Marsh Ltd, to offer dog insurance to BASC members.

Petplan insurance policies are designed to provide cover against the costs of veterinary treatment an owner may incur as a result of unexpected injury or illness. Dogs are just as susceptible to illnesses and injuries as people, Petplan experiences show that 1 in 3 pet owners have to make an unexpected trip to the vet each year.

For many pet owners, insurance is one of the many ways of caring for their dog and having cover in case their dog becomes sick or injured is all part of responsible pet ownership. This is why Petplan policies offer cover to help with the vet bills, allowing owners to provide their dog with the best possible treatment without having to worry about the cost.

As well as cover for veterinary fees, a Petplan policy can also provide cover in the event that a dog is lost or stolen. An owner may want to advertise for its safe return and offer a reward to the individual who found it, Petplan can provide cover towards these costs. Help with legal fees can also be covered if a dog causes an accident resulting in third party damage or injury as well as help to cover the cost of boarding kennel fees if you are hospitalised. All this and more is why a Petplan insurance policy can provide the much needed peace of mind when it comes to a dog’s wellbeing.

A key benefit of Petplan insurance is that cover applies for BASC member’s dogs being used in connection with recreational activities of wildfowling, stalking, shooting of game, deer vermin, airgunning, conservation, hawking, ferreting, gundog working and training, including beating and picking up.
