“Allie Simpson at Petsure shares her thoughts on pet travel insurance.

“No one wants to think about their dog having an accident while you're enjoying a holiday together. But just in case they unexpectedly fall ill or have an accident, having pet insurance can give you peace of mind about unplanned vet costs.

Remember to keep your dog's vaccination records and microchip information easily accessible. Create a list of local vet clinics and hospitals in case of emergencies and be sure to check their opening hours and services."

The Northern Echo: Is it worth having pet insurance? Vet bill warning issued

May 2024

“Allie Simpson, Content Manager, at Petsure commented: "Having pet insurance can give you confidence that you’re prepared for unexpected vet bills. Especially when surgeries and treatment for common conditions can cost hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.

You could be faced with large vet bills if your pet develops a chronic illness or has several accidents close together. Making sure your pet pals are covered with insurance means you can focus your energy on helping them get better.

Doing your homework can help you decide how much vet fee cover you’d like for your pet. Thoroughly research their breed to learn what conditions they could inherit. You can also contact your local vet to check their treatment prices.”

DogsToday Magazine: Expert shares tips to keep your dog safe from theft

February 2024

“With this in mind, Allie Simpson, Content Manager at Petsure has provided their top tips for preventing dog theft, and what you should do in the event that your beloved pet does go missing.

  1. Get your dog microchipped and keep the details up to date

It’s the law in the UK to get your dog microchipped, and one of the reasons for this is to help reunite pet parents with their pups if they go missing. So make sure you keep your dog’s microchip details up to date, for example if you move house, so you can be easily reached if they’re found. Also double-check that your pet’s records are held in a microchipping database that meets government standards.”

Petsure: What are the cat life stages?

“Many people find it easier to compare cat years to human years, as our formidable felines go through quite similar types of life stages to us. It’s a popular assumption that one cat year is the equivalent of 7 human years, but that’s not quite right.

While cats go through their life stages much faster than humans, they (like us) are very individual, so may mature at different rates to even each other. Let’s jump paws first into cat life stages and look at some ways to care for them through each stage.”

Get your dog microchipped

It’s the law in the UK to get your dog microchipped, and one of the reasons it was introduced was to help reunite owners with their pups if they go missing.

As a responsible pet parent, you’ve hopefully already got this one covered. Remember to keep your dog’s microchip details up to date so that you can be easily contacted if your dog is found.

Put on a collar or accessory with an ID tag

Having an ID tag on your dog’s collar or harness is also a UK dog law.

Check that your dog’s ID tag includes your name and address to give your dog’s rescuers an easy way to reach you.”

Petsure: UK flat-faced pet breed ban: What could it mean for my pet?

“Why is there talk about banning certain flat-faced pet breeds in the UK?

Vets, researchers, and pet charities like RSPCA and Blue Cross have long petitioned for better education on flat-faced breed health issues.

In February 2022, Oslo District Court ruled that breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and English Bulldogs breached Norway’s animal welfare legislation.

And new studies in 2022 – including several from the Royal Veterinary College – also highlight the critical health issues faced by brachycephalic breeds.

All of this has prompted renewed discussions about what the UK is doing to help improve flat-faced breed welfare.”
