What is Covered by Our Holiday Cancellation Insurance? 

If you, or a member of your family travelling with you, needs to cancel the trip because your pet needs lifesaving treatment, then you already have enough on your mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

That&#39;s why we offer holiday cancellation cover. If you&#39;ve had that terrible news less than 7 days before you were meant to travel, we may be able to help towards your lost travel and accommodation expenses up to &pound;3,000, depending on the level of cover you chose.&nbsp;

Likewise, we could also help if you need to bring your sun-soaking to an earlier-than-planned conclusion because your hairy Houdini has pulled an escape act.&nbsp;

How can I make a holiday cancellation pet insurance claim?

Last-minute holidays cancellations are never easy. They can also be pretty expensive. That&#39;s why our Pet Insurance offers the chance to recoup some of those losses.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>You can make or track progress of a claim in the Pet Portal.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Alternatively, download a claims form and submit using the process on the form.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>For Third Party Liability claims, check the info in your policy documents.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Find out more about making a claim on our <a href="/claims" title="Link to the Everypaw Pet Insurance Claims page">Pet Insurance Claims information page</a>.&nbsp;

Can you cancel a holiday because of an ill pet?

There are many valid reasons for cancelling a holiday. One of those is because your pet needs lifesaving medical attention. Another is because they&#39;ve gone missing.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

But if either of these unthinkable scenarios occurs and you need to either cancel an upcoming stay or cut one short, we can help with holiday cancellation cover.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

We just need to be sure that your holiday was booked more than 28 days before travel. If you cancel before travelling, your holiday should be less than 7 days away. We&#39;ll also need to check with your vet that your furry friend&#39;s condition was life-threatening.&nbsp;

Do I need cover for holiday cancellations due to pet illness?

Your pooch or pussycat are probably fit as a fiddle. So, you can jet off to sunnier climes (with or without them) and everything will be fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

But having holiday cancellation cover included on your Pet Insurance is a useful added bonus. It&#39;s doubly handy if your furry best friend goes missing or needs lifesaving surgery either in the week before you go or while you&#39;re away.

What do we mean by a "family member" travelling with you?

We mentioned earlier that we may be able to help with the costs if you, or a family member travelling with you, need to cancel a trip because your pet needs lifesaving treatment.&nbsp;But what do we mean by &quot;family member travelling with you&quot;.

When we say &quot;family member&quot; we mean your:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Spouse&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Civil partner&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Partner who you currently live with&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Children&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Parents&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Other relatives who live with you</li>
</ul>

The benefit values featured in the table may vary across the different levels of cover and will depend on the cover you choose. Please check your cover before purchasing. Be aware, for some breeds of dogs we do not provide our &pound;8k and &pound;10k Lifetime cover. 
 
All policies and features are subject to special conditions and exclusions of the insurers, please click the link to read about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.everypaw.com/pet-insurance-policy-exclusions" title="Link to Everypaw's Pet Insurance Exclusions page">our policy exclusions</a>. 
 
Excess is applicable to all vet fees claims. When your pet reaches a certain age, the excess payable may change. The excess will be your set excess plus a percentage of your claim amount.

Getting your furry friend covered shouldn&#39;t just come down to cost. There&#39;s a lot more to it than that, so take the time to do a pet insurance comparison. Think about their breed, the level of cover they might need, and what would be important to you. After all, insurance is there for both of you.

One of the best ways to do that is to compare cover levels. This will give you an idea of how much your pet insurance will cost, how much you can claim against vet bills, as well as the policy benefits. It&#39;s all about finding the Lifetime Pet Insurance that works best for you and your pet.

	<li>Treatment for any illness that occurs in the first 14 days of your policy*</li>
	<li>Treatment related to vaccine-preventable conditions</li>
	<li>Treatment related to breeding, pregnancy or birthing</li>
	<li>Treatment on baby teeth if your pet is over 16 weeks when your policy starts</li>
</ul>
