Although RP will repatriate pets in the event of a breakdown, it is a pity that they do not offer pet insurance for an overseas holiday.
Unfortunately on our first visit to France, we were on a site with our dogs on leads walking back to the caravan when a dog from a m/h which was not on a lead attached how male dog. This dog was a cross German Shepherd/Collie and our dog was a Yorkshire Terrier so stood no chance.
The vet bill for our dog was just over €230 and his eyesight was saved. The owners of the other sog gave us €200 towards the vet bill otherwise we woudl have been out of pocket.
It would be nice if Red Pennant offered short term pet insurance to cover accidental events such as these, but obviously exclude long term illnesses etc.
