Written by Liam Farnell | Aug 12, 2025 1:23:14 PM

According to the latest data from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), pet insurance claims costs reached a record £1.23 billion in 2024 - marking a 4% increase on the previous year and more than double the total a decade ago.

 

A staggering 1.8 million claims were made in 2024 - an average of 4,900 claims per day. The average claim is now £685, up 3% year-on-year.
