Comprehensive pet insurance that covers dental

Our pets use their mouths like we use our hands. They’ll lick, chew, or nibble their way through the world. Not only that, but strong and healthy teeth are vital for your pet to be able to eat! 

We all know how rotten life is with toothache. And no dog or cat will want to eat or play a lot with a sore mouth. 

But our furry friends can’t tell us when they’re in pain, and have to eat to survive, so they will try to keep eating even if their teeth or mouth hurts. That’s why it’s important to have your pet’s dental health checked regularly.

Not only that, but severe dental disease can lead to

. This makes looking after your pet’s teeth and gums essential to protect their overall health and wellbeing.

Because we know dental health is vital for your pet’s overall health, we think it’s important to cover it. That’s why all Napo pet insurance policies include dental cover.

It depends on your provider.

Many pet insurers don't offer dental, or they may only protect your pet’s teeth in cases of accidents, not illness.

At Napo, dental is covered under your pet insurance. All our policies include up to £2000 dental cover for accidents and illness.

So as long as your pet has had a dental checkup in the last 12 months, we’ll cover treatment recommended by a vet, as long as veterinary treatment is given within 3 months and it isn't for a pre-existing condition or a crown.

Napo pet insurance includes dental cover as standard. Depending on the policy you have, you will get up to £2000 dental cover per policy year.

To be eligible for dental claims, your pet needs to have an annual dental check up. This could be part of their annual health check. Just like a human check-up, this helps to spot problems early.

Some pet insurers won’t cover dental work. Regardless of why other insurers won’t cover dental care, Napo

include dental cover as standard. So no matter what policy you buy, you’ll be able to protect your pet’s teeth against accidents and illness.

Whether or not your insurance includes extractions will depend on your provider and the policy you buy. If you’re with Napo, your pet insurance covers dental extractions due to an illness.

Many insurers won’t cover professional teeth cleaning, or a scale and polish. Napo pet insurance includes dental cleaning, as long as it is recommended and performed by a vet to treat an illness of the teeth and gums. A veterinary scale and polish must be performed under anaesthetic. Because of this,

anywhere between £250 to £450.

We can’t speak for all pet insurance, because every provider is different and the policies they offer vary. Here at Napo, we do offer pet insurance that covers dental surgery.

To be more specific, we will cover dental treatment that’s due to an accident or illness that’s not a pre-existing condition, as long as it is recommended and performed by a vet. That includes tartar removal, root canals, and extractions. (Excluding crowns.)

We just ask that your pet has had a dental check in the last 12 months. And that when a vet prescribes a treatment, it’s given within 3 months of that recommendation. (You’d not want to be left with a toothache for longer!)

We think it’s always worth protecting your pet’s teeth. Dental disease, like any painful condition, can impact your pooch’s quality of life. Plus, teeth don’t heal themselves if they’re damaged. That’s why we think it’s essential all our policies include dental cover for dogs (and cats!)

If you own a dog, you’ll know better than anyone that a dog uses their mouth for everything, not just eating. But

are affected by periodontal disease (dental disease) by age 3. Dental disease can lead to inflammation, sore mouths, severe toothache, tooth loss, and even “osteomyelitis” which is damage or infection to the jaw bone.

Having dog insurance that covers dental is worth it because good dental health will help to keep your pup happy and healthy in general. It also means sore teeth and gums won’t get in the way of how your puppy feels, eats, or plays. Plus, dental treatments can be costly, (like any vet bills.) For example, removing one of your dog’s teeth can cost

in vet fees.

All Napo policies include dog dental insurance, with up to £2000 in cover.

Cats use their mouths all the time to eat, play, and groom themselves. It’s worth protecting their teeth and oral health with cat insurance with dental cover, so they’re never left with toothache.

over 3 years old suffer from dental problems. But

, such as £300 for a cat’s scale and polish, or up to £800 for an extraction. Ouch!

All Napo policies all provide cat dental insurance, with up to £2000 in cover.
