With 5 years of steady growth and an excellent reputation, Healthy Pets Insurance is delighted to have secured another year of underwriting through Lloyds of London. Healthy Pets has secured further support via a second Lloyds Underwriter. Acting as lead Underwriter is Mike Kyriacou at SA Meacock joined by Niall McKibbin at the Catlin syndicate.

Pet owners are exceptionally sensitive when choosing an insurance company for their beloved companion. Healthy Pets Insurance partnered with Lloyds of London reflects the solid long-term sustainability that attracts and holds onto clients. This partnership enables Healthy Pets to settle claims within 4 days of receipt and allows them to react quickly to market trends.

Healthy Pets, known as the friendly and approachable caring company, have one of the highest renewal rates in the industry and premium growth rates look like continuing at their current extreme pace.

Mark Effenberg, CEO of Healthy Pets Insurance, is delighted saying, "We have built a solid business with a good reputation in an increasingly competitive market. Now we are ready to implement existing expansion plans. The Lloyds partnership puts us in an excellent position for future development."

Healthy Pets makes insuring a pet easy without hiding behind small print. They offer a choice of two fixed excess levels and packages for multi-pet owning households. Their policies start at only £4.58 per month for one cat up to £30.52 if you own two dogs and two cats. Veterinary fees are paid up to £2,500 for any one illness, including home visits if necessary. Once a pet is insured with Healthy Pets, it will never be excluded because of its age. Healthy Pets settle your bills up to the plan maximum and in most cases, deal directly with your vet. Should the need arise, they will even pay for complimentary medicine!

Healthy Pets policies are comprehensive and competitive. If an owner is taken ill suddenly and hospitalised for more than 96 hours, the policy covers boarding fees up to £300. They even pay towards advertising should a pet be lost or stolen.
