Charities

Petplan Charities Petplan have a long running partnership with many charities, which is why we reward them for all their hard work for all animals big and small. If you are a charity that cares about the health and well-being of all animals, we’re interested in working with you.

Petplan Charity Cover program

Our partner program allows Charities to benefit from being able to offer a 4 Weeks Introductory Charity cover policy to anyone adopting a dog or cat from 8 weeks of age. Unlike our other partner programs, Petplan Charities are able to set up introductory policies for pets up to their 8th birthday (5th birthday for some Select Breeds of dogs*).

*A full list of Select Breeds is available in our FAQs section.

We believe that the health and wellbeing of the pet should be at the heart of what we do, and allowing these pets to go home with a policy ensures they are covered for any unexpected illness or accident.

Some of the benefits include:

3 day waiting period for accident/injury
14 day waiting period for illness
Free for charities to issue and costs the new owner nothing
Easy online activation on behalf of the new owner
