MORE TH>N warns pet owners to take extra care of their pets. The pet insurer saw 59 per cent more claims involving dogs and cats in road accidents from November 2010 to January 2011, compared to the previous three months.
In a move to help combat pet accidents, MORE TH>N is launching a new awareness campaign and will be giving away free dog collar blinkers and reflective cat collars to all new customers who purchase pet insurance during Road Safety Week, which runs from 21 – 27 November 2011.
John Ellenger, Head of Pet Insurance at MORE TH>N, said: “It’s an unfortunate fact that during the dark winter days our dogs and cats are not as visible to motorists. However, a simple reflective pet collar or vest can help make all the difference. Having the right insurance policy for your pet will also give financial peace of mind should an accident happen and treatment is needed.”
The top five UK claims hotspots are Ilford, Huddersfield, Carlisle, Halifax and Sutton, where dogs and cats are twice as likely to be involved in road accidents during winter than in other parts of the UK.
