Dog Breed Insurance - Company 1

The first insurance company is a 'leading' pet-insurance-specialist company. For the purpose of this quote we opted to use only the BUDGET policy option for our comparison. Their budget policy offers £3,000 cover for 12 months.

It's worth noting there were some oddities in the pricing though, as some of the breeds only cost a few pound more for the next policy up - whereas as most cost significantly more - however this seems most common for those breeds costing more for the budget policy to begin with. For example, The Hungarian Vizsla cost £22.50 for the budget policy, yet the next (better) policy up, cost £23.52 Compare that to the budget policy for an Australian Terrier which cost £13.51, yet the next option up cost £23.52. We're not quite sure why that is - but it just re-emphasises that you should get lots of quotes and shop around.
