Watch out for vets performing unnecessary procedures to bump up insurance money

Direct Line has discovered that some vets are allegedly claiming for treatments that were deemed unnecessary.

Vets have argued that they have only done procedures that were required and that the high fees were due to “expensive treatment”.

Due to the expensive treatments performed by vets Pet insurance premiums are now increasing and forcing consumers to abandon their policies.

Direct Line has discovered that even though vets are seeing less animals, they were allegedly recommending further more expensive treatments to cover their losses.

The vets association has argued back saying that yes, pet insurance was becoming more expensive but this was because more hi-tech treatments were now available to vets and that the rise in cost is to cover these new techniques.
