Pet insurance provides cover for behavioural issues

Thu, 18 Sep 2008

Sainsbury's Finance estimates that this year more than 60,000 cats and dogs in the UK could suffer from "Master Separation Syndrome" - a term devised by the Bank to describe the mental trauma caused by their owners separating.

Sainsbury's Pet Insurance provides a range of benefits which includes up to £1,000 per condition for complementary treatments and £250 a year for behavioural problems . Over the last year, the insurer has seen a 28% increase in the number of claims linked to behavioural problems and the Bank believes that Master Separation Syndrome is one of the reasons for this.

Neal Devine, Sainsbury's Pet Insurance Manager said: "If a couple separating have pets, their animals can also suffer from the anguish and stress caused by the breakdown . Cats and dogs can be very susceptible to their owner's feelings and if they sense they are unhappy they can easily become agitated and depressed ."
