I saw this on MSE, it seems Halifax are withdrawing from the pet insurance market and the company they will transfer you to will
NOT cover pre-existing conditions. If you're currently with Halifax and haven't claimed for anything it may be an idea to cancel early and sign up with a new company while there are no pre-existing conditions so that you'd be covered ongoing into the future if you were unfortunate enough to have to claim in the period that's left of your policy.
Very bad news for those who are with Halifax and have already claimed for a condition
We got a letter today saying the Halifax are withdrawing from the pet insurance market and we can't renew <pets name> policy in October.
The letter states they have agreed to provide us with an alternative cover quote from Petwise and that the quote was enclosed (it wasn't).
Followed by:
Finally got to speak to someone at Halifax (or BDML to be more precise as it's them that run the pet insurance arm for Halifax).
The Petwise quote that they are to send out, will not cover pre-exisiting conditions. The only benefit offered is that under the circumstances, they are going to waive the intial 'no claim period' so that if you need to make a claim the day after getting the insurance, you can.
Other than that, it's a new policy with the usual exclusions with regard to pre existing conditions.
