Firstly, it is important to understand what is included and excluded under your insurance quotes.

However, it is crucial to check if this is the case prior to taking out the Insurance Policy.

    Furthermore, the main risk from an Insurer perspective is the risk of an animal either causing third-party injury to a passer-by on the street. Another main risk they have concern regarding would be if the animal ran into the road. As this consequently could cause a car accident resulting in third-party injury or property damage.
