Get insured with Agria at Crufts
The world’s largest dog show, Crufts, starts in just a few days and while in essence, it is about having fun with your pet and of course allowing some of the world’s best dog show men and woman to come together and compete for best in show. It is also one of the best times to get across just how important insuring your pet can be.
People on social media might have noticed a distinct lack of Sally photos over the start of the year; this is because back in January she had an operation, which resulted in her being bald in quite a number of areas across her body.
You see December last year we noticed in a very short period a large lump appeared on her side. We had been closely monitoring a number of smaller lumps, alongside the vet, but with the emergence of the larger one he decided it was definitely time to take action, once the new year came around.
Luckily Sally has always been insured and this meant we could agree to the operation without thinking too much on it, in fact the bigger issue was how well a dog of around 15 years, would cope with such a procedure.
Thankfully she coped well and all the lumps came back as benign and apart from being partly bald Sally is happy and well.
Of course not everyone has insurance, for many reasons, from them just not knowing how much it could help, to believing it was just too expensive and that is where Agria can help. They want to get across the message that pet insurance can help save your dog’s life and so they have a number of things going on during Crufts.
To start with during Crufts this year they are offering four month’s half price when you sign up with them, all you need to do is head over to their website, using their special Crufts link between the 5th and 19th of March to claim this fantastic offer.
What’s more if you are heading off to Crufts itself, make sure you take some time out to visit the Agria stands, first off you will find them in Hall 2, where you can not only get the low down on insurance from their experts, but have some fun entering to win a new car. Then paddy paw over to Hall 3 and meet up with the Agria experts from Sweden who will be showcasing exclusive Swedish-designed doggy essentials.
So please whatever you are doing this year while Crufts is on, take a few minutes out and think about your pet, especially if they aren’t already insured.

We just got a dog last week. I didn’t know this existed.
What a cute pup. I know people who have dog insurance and swear by it.
I am sure it is always a good idea to have a pet insurance as it could come so handy when needed. Though we don’t have pets at home, I am sure this will be a great information for friends and family who have pets.
wow…i never thought about having pet insurance. i dont have any pets but i know a lot of people that do. i wonder if they have even considered this.
Honestly I had never really given pet insurance any thought! I really should look into this!
Wow I didnt know you could get insurance for a dog. I dont have a pet never owned one but good to know for the future.
Since I don’t have any pets I had no idea about pet insurance. I do think pet owners should consider having one even if it expensive.
I really had no idea about pet insurance. Such a great idea since taking care of pets can get expensive.
Hmmm certainly something to ponder. In my mind I think one should get pet insurance. The closer I get to the day we will face a
Its a must have really! X
Thanks for the reminder. Really must sort this out.
We have never had pet insurance but I think i should consider it “/
I think pet insurance is a great thing!! Vet visits can cost a LOT!!
We don’t have pet insurance, but we’d pay any price to protect our pup! Our dog is definitely a big part of our family, I’m sorry you went through that with yours!
I think pet insurance is a great idea and really need to consider my options. I’ve always been deterred by the potential cost, but I also know the pros of having it can greatly outweigh that!
Glad to hear Sally is doing well and what a great comfort that you didn’t have to worry about the cost of the surgery since you’re covered.
It really makes all the difference. She’s definitely back to her old self now – bar being a bit bald lol. x
I want to try this for a cat since dogs are a no-no for us now :/
I never realized just how important it is to have insurance for your pet. But it makes so much sense now!
I would definitely get pet insurance if we were to buy a new fur baby. You never know when you will need it. Your dog is so cute.
My mom had a terrier when I was growing up (she had the dog long before me), and she developed lumps when I was little. I barely remember, but I do remember it being traumatic. I don’t think insurance was around back then either for pets. 🙁
Pet insurance is so important!! I had not heard of this pet insurance company before sounds like a good company.
Great post. We have two dogs and have recently got insurance but im always on the look out for the best deal! Angela
I have always had pet insurance on my dog, but thankfully haven’t had to use it! It gives me comfort to know that he is covered.
oh I keep saying I need to sort out pet insurance and just never get round to doing it you have jogged my memoriy
We got insurance for all our pets after a few years ago our cat getting sick suddenly and passing away on us. We took her to the vet and they said they could try treatments but it would have been in the thousands, I’ve always regretting not being able to.
I’ll stop by their stand if I’m going to Crufts. I’m not sure I can go, it depends how busy I am.
I actually have my pups insured too! It’s one of the best things I’ve done for them! It’s a great idea cause you’ll never know what to expect when it comes to your fur babies health.
Insurance is a great idea for any pet owner. We’ve been hit with some monstrous bills in the past and definitely could have used the insurance then!
I never thought of this for our pets. This is a great idea. Will look into this more.
I had no idea that there even was such a thing as pet insurance. Totally makes sense, though since they are just another member of the family. Thanks for the info!
Insurance is SO essential when you have a pet! I’ve known families that didn’t and were so conflicted when medical issues came up. It’s so much better to be prepared!
Insuring your pets is one of the first things people should do if they get a pet. Those vet bills can really rack up.
We don’t have a pet yet, but the kids are hoping to get a puppy soon. We might get a puppy in the near future! We will definitely get insurance for it!
Having pet insurance sounds like a good idea. I don’t have pets, but I will share this with friends and family that do.
My husband and I have talked about getting insurance for our dog, and I really think we need to. I will have to look into Agria. I hope your dog is feeling better after the operation.
She is thank you so much, just a bit patchy – thankfully we noticed a tuft was finally peeking through in one patch last night lol x
