piggy bank
The partnership has so far raised £4m for the Dogs Trust.
Alliance has raised £4m for charity to date

Major UK pet insurer, Petplan, has renewed its partnership with the Dogs Trust, meaning all dogs rehomed through the charity will get their four weeks of free pet insurance.

The insurance company will continue to donate 10 per cent of the premium from policies sold or renewed in this way, directly to the Dogs Trust.

So far, this has raised £4 million for the charity. Funds go towards rehoming and rehabilitating stray and abandoned dogs across the UK and Dublin.

Dogs Trust CEO Adrian Burder, said: "Dogs Trust is so grateful for the continued support Petplan offers us, and the 17,000 dogs we care for each year.

"The peace of mind that every new owner has knowing that their new dog is starting its new life with four weeks free pet insurance is a reassuring gift.

"After working together for nearly 20 years and raising well in excess of £4million we’re looking forward to seeing many more happy families starting their lives together."
