New policies specify where pets must go for referral treatment
Almost 90 per cent of owners would not take out pet insurance with a company that dictates where their pet should be sent for referral treatment, a new survey has revealed.
The figure comes as Tesco and More Than adopt Royal & Sun Alliance policies which state that pets who need specialist treatment must be taken to one of 29 centres as approved by RSA.
Those who do not take their pet to a centre on the RSA’s approved ‘referral network’ could face a fine of £200.
