Say hello to Vodka!

At just one year old, this Leopard Gecko is already a household legend. Vodka loves a good sleep, watching his humans potter about the room, and hunting down his own Dubia roaches. He is a fiercely independent hunter who refuses the tongs, preferring to stalk his dinner the old-fashioned way. He’s also a big fan of misting time. He loves when the sprayer goes over him!

Vodka’s independence is great to see! Letting a gecko hunt for their food (rather than tong-feeding) is fantastic mental and physical enrichment. It mimics natural behaviour and keeps their reflexes sharp. Many owners don't realise that Leopard Geckos often enjoy a "rain shower." Misting the tank doesn't just help with shed and humidity; it’s a form of enrichment that many geckos clearly find refreshing!

As we head toward the end of summer, the weather can still bring a few warm surprises!

Remember that pets can’t regulate their temperature like we do. Always keep fresh water topped up in multiple spots around the house, and remember the 5-second rule: if the pavement is too hot for the back of your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Every pet has a story, but Demi’s is one of pure resilience and joy! 🌟

Found in a box as a 6-month-old kitten, Demi spent two years waiting for the right person to notice her at the RSPCA. Thankfully, she found her perfect match, and today she is a soon to be 9-year-old bundle of fun and character.

Demi is deaf, but she doesn't let that stop her from living life to the fullest. She’s developed a special sign language with her owner, is a world-class climber, and holds the household record for the fastest sprint up the stairs 🏆

Demi’s lifestyle is a perfect example of how cats thrive when we adapt to their needs:

👂 Deaf cats are incredibly observant. Using hand signals and light gestures is a wonderful way to build a deep, silent language that is just as effective as verbal commands.

🤝 Demi’s love for ribbons and stair-racing is excellent for keeping an older cat’s mind sharp and her muscles strong.

🦺 Because she is deaf, indoor living (or supervised outdoor time) is the best way to keep Demi safe from road traffic or unexpected dangers she can’t hear.

We offer tailored cat insurance to make sure that cats can keep climbing, chasing, and racing up those stairs for many years to come. Ready to protect your climbing queen? Visit our website for a quick quote: https://britishpetinsurance.co.uk/cat-insurance/

Say hello to Leonardo, the 5-year-old Iguana who is proof that an iguana can be the perfect companion 🌟🦎

Leonardo isn't your average pet. He’s a free-roaming, potty-trained, car-riding, toy-loving genius! His owner has put so much heart into adapting their home with the right lighting and space to ensure Leo thrives. He’s so friendly and well-mannered that he even charmed the entire veterinary team during his last check-up!

Leonardo is thriving because of the dedication to his specific needs. If you’re inspired by his story, here is what makes a free-roaming iguana successful:

💡 Leonardo’s success comes from his specialised lighting (UVB and heat) being available throughout his roaming area. Always ensure your lizard has "hot spots" and "cool zones" even when outside of a primary enclosure.

🚽 It’s rare but possible! Iguanas are creatures of habit. Giving them a dedicated, warm, and appropriate area is the secret to a mess-free home.

🚗 Leonardo’s calm nature during car rides and vet visits shows he has been properly socialised from a young age. This reduces stress significantly, which is the #1 way to keep an iguana healthy for many years to come!

We offer comprehensive exotic pet cover to ensure that your clever companion stays healthy and adventurous. Want to keep your genius reptile protected? Visit our website for a quick quote today: https://britishpetinsurance.co.uk/exotic-insurance/

Move over, landmarks, there’s a new legend in town 🐈

We’ve always said our cats act like they own the place, but this might be taking it a bit too far. Even if your household legend is more "sofa-sized" than "monument-sized" they still deserve the very best.

From kitten play to senior naps, our cat insurance is designed to keep your legend feeling fantastic, no matter how tall they think they are.
