Aviva partners with pet insurance specialist

UK insurer Aviva has partnered with Amesbury-based pet insurance specialist Animal Friends Insurance.

The partnership will see Animal Friends provide and manage pet insurance policies for Aviva's new customers.

New policy holders will also receive complimentary access to online veterinary service provider, Joii. The Joii app features a free symptom checker, video consultations with vets, and the addition of a range of health clinics with vet nurses to help owners receive information on topics from puppy and kittens through to weight management and dental checks.

Wes Pearson, managing director at Animal Friends Insurance, said: “We are extremely proud of this partnership with Aviva and we are committed to providing the high-quality service customers expect from such a well-known and respected brand. We are uniquely placed to offer owners the right insurance cover for their pet and at the same time helping animal charities worldwide, at no extra cost to the customer. To date, we have donated over £4 million and will continue to support and raise awareness of animal welfare causes.”
