Cruciate injuries
Why ligament claims are often a wording and waiting-period test.
This website publishes independent educational notes about pet insurance in the United Kingdom. It is not an insurer, broker, or claims handler, and it is not affiliated with any commercial insurance brand.
Cruciate disease is a classic booklet special: sometimes a longer wait, sometimes a sub-limit, sometimes a debate about whether the other knee is the same condition. Read that paragraph before a young dog’s first lame week.
All condition notes.
