Lifetime and Standard Care Pre-existing
OUR ASSESSMENT
A limited pre-existing-condition allowance is a real distinction, but it should not be read as unrestricted cover for ongoing illness.
Features to compare
- Standard Care Pre-existing provides up to £1,500 for eligible pre-existing conditions within a £7,000 overall vet-fee allowance.
- It considers conditions that ended more than three months before cover; other plans use a two-year symptom/treatment/advice-free rule.
Limitations and checks
- The £1,500 allowance is part of, not additional to, the £7,000 total. Detailed definitions and renewal conditions apply.
The question to ask
Does my pet’s exact history meet the pre-existing-condition definition, and which allowance would pay?
