Insurance for a rescue dog?

i am a bit worried about Dog insurance on a rescue, does any know of any places that will insure the dog for life, i mean say the dog is 2 years old the rescue place wont know its history...so would a insurance place accept it...?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the insuring dog's for life part, but I don't think you should have any problems insuring a rescue dog. I had no problems getting my rescue dogs insured.

The dog should be vet checked and if there is a medical
problem you need to mention that on the insurance. Apart from that I don't think it matters that the history isn't known.

The RSPCA gave us 6 weeks free insurance with our dogs but I don't know if all rescue places do that

hiya thanks! i just dont want to find a dog get him home then be told i can not insure him!

i know that more than insure for the dogs life, maybe nearer the time ill phone them up and ask them?

just trying to get things sorted in my head so i know whats going on!!

I got insurance with M & S for my rescue no problem whatsoever. After all, you chop and change insurance companies all the time and as far as they're concerned they just want your cash and you get the insurance? My rescue was 5yrs. old (gsd). The only history I could give them was what I knew about as luckily he had the same vet for his 5yrs. that I had anyway, so he could tell me all. Just explain to them that this is a rescue dog, you don't know of any existing conditions, but you've had a vet check him over and he seems in perfect health! That's what I would do anyway!

All my dogs have been rescue dogs and I have had no problem in insuring them

well it has put my mind at rest!!! one less thing to worry about!!

Pet Plan insure for life as long as you keep renewing your policy with them and they will definitely insure a rescue dog of 2 years old no problem

hiya well unless im reading it wrong but pet plan state that they only insure a dog up to its 8th birthday and in some breeds 5 years old............ i have my cat insurance with them but they insure cats for the lifetime.......

What they mean is they will only accept new pets up to 8 years old and not beyond...if you're dog is 2 years old then there's no problem...they will only insure for life if you keep up the policy with them.

aHHHHHHHH!!!!!! ok i get it now!!! haha!

Thanks!!!! i might get a double discount as my cats with them............oooo!
