Meanwhile, Border Collies have been the biggest decrease in price (49%) compared with the same period last year.

"A dog is for life, not just for lockdown so it's really important to get the right insurance in place as soon as you welcome your pet into your family," Isabella Von Mesterhazy, head of Petplan Direct, says.
"When shopping around check the veterinary cover provided by each policy carefully as not all pet insurance is the same. This will ensure you can get your pet the best care possible in their time of need."
