Animal Friends Insurance helps The Mayhew Animal Home

Animal Friends, the unique not-for-profit Pet Insurer, has teamed up with The Mayhew to help us raise funds. Animal Friends will donate 50% of all commissions earned to The Mayhew for every pet insurance policy sold through this special promotion. Animal Friends Insurance policies are available to pet owners new and old, so whether you adopted your animal recently, or years ago you may apply for cover today.

Animal Friends has a long association with animal charities. The brainchild of businesswoman and animal lover, Elaine Fairfax, the company was launched in 1999 after Elaine gave up a successful business career and remortgaged her home to realise a dream of establishing a business that was devoted to helping animals by giving all its net profits to animal welfare projects.

After putting life and soul into the company to ensure its success, Elaine is now seeing the company grow by an amazing 200% a year and it has become the largest independent pet insurance intermediary in the UK. All this effort has already enabled Elaine to donate thousands of pounds to good causes across the world, including helping Moon Bears in China, rescued chimpanzees in Spain, horses and donkeys in Israel and the Gambia and many rescue projects in the UK.

“What’s unique about Animal Friends,” Elaine says, “is that we can offer animal lovers and pet owners the chance to do some good with their insurance premiums whilst offering their pets the very best cover. We can offer full lifetime cover to protect against the costs of ongoing illness and we can, almost uniquely, even insure new pets at any age. Our rates are usually better than other insurers too, but our ethics do not come at the expense of cost, security or service. My aim has always been to do whatever I can to ensure that animals are properly cared for and not put down just because owners cannot afford the cost of proper care.”

Animal Friends offers 7 different levels of pet insurance cover for dogs and cats of any age across the UK from its modern, friendly office in Dorset so you are bound to find something to suit your budget. You can also easily buy online via Animal Friends’ cheery and informative web site at www.animalfriends.co.uk where you will be able to read about the projects they assist and even see a huge gallery of lovely animal photos!
