What is a Reinstatement policy, also known as a Lifetime policy?
Reinstatement also known as Lifetime Pet insurance covers Vet fees up to the policy limit for each separate condition year after year for your pet’s life. Our Reinstated or Lifetime policies cover short and long-term illnesses that your pet may develop.
As long as you renew your policy with us each year and your premiums are up to date and your insurer offers renewal, your policy limit renews.
Your pet will have access to the continuous cover for any conditions presented after you took the policy out with Perfect Pet. The good news is there is no limit on the amount of conditions you can claim for.
A few benefits we offer on the Reinstatement policies we offer-
- There is no limit as to the number of conditions that can be claimed.
- We do not restrict the age we insure your pet up to
- Claims process is as easy as submitting a form by email with the full medical history and invoices within 90 days of treatment you are claiming for. You can find out more about how to make a claim by following a link to our claims process page

excess of £90.00 which is deducted per condition, per policy year.
The medication the Vets have suggested needs to be prescribed monthly initially for a few months.
