Unsure of what to do in the event of a claim? Here are our most popular questions about claims:
Any sign of illness, disease or injury that your pet has before the policy starts.
For example, if your pet has a sore front leg before the policy starts that turns out to be elbow dysplasia then the first clinical sign of that illness is pre-existing to the policy.
An illness, injury or behavioural disorder that has the same diagnosis, that relates to or results from, or showed the same clinical signs as an illness, injury or behavioural disorder noted before your policy started.
The excess on your pet insurance policy is your contribution towards the cost of your claim. The excess is chosen by you at the start of your policy and as with any insurance provider, allows us to ensure that premiums remain affordable for our policyholders.
A fixed excess is the amount you will pay every policy year for each condition.
The variable or percentage excess is calculated after the fixed excess is deducted along with any other deductions applied to your claim.
Your fixed and variable excess can be found on your Policy Schedule.
The fixed excess, is payable once per condition, per policy year. The variable excess is a percentage of the vet bill you pay each time you make a claim.
For example:
Based on a fixed excess of £170 and a variable of 10%; if you submitted a claim for £1000, you would pay the first £170 which would leave £830. You would then pay 10% of the remaining bills which is £83 and Agria would pay the £747 that is left.
If you then submitted a claim for another £500 for the same condition in the same policy year, you would only pay the 10% which is £50 and Agria would pay £450.
We are unable to provide cover for any pre-existing illnesses or injuries

Vaccinations, preventative parasite control and routine neutering are some examples of routine treatment.
Preventative treatment would be treatment that your vet recommends to prevent an illness or disease for example removing a dew claw that is not injured but may lead to injury in the future.
Pet insurance is in place to provide peace of mind for unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
Your pet must have a dental health check in the 12 months before the dental disease was noticed. The treatment must be carried out within 3 months of it being noticed.
A dental health check is a veterinary check of the teeth and gums. We ask you to do this to ensure that any dental disease is treated as quickly as possible and shows us that you have taken steps to prevent severe dental disease for your pet.
