Buying or adopting a new pet is a lovely mile-stone for many people, however it can also be a bit stressful as there is so much information out there to sift through. What breed of dog do you get? What’s the best pet insurance to go for? How do you ensure your pet is settling in well? What are the top tips everyone needs to know when buying a new pet? Experts Jade Statt and Tara Hughes are here to answer all your questions about pet insurance and pet health & wellbeing.

Here is some information on Jade Statt who will be answering your questions on pet health and wellbeing: “My name is Jade Statt and I qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2002 and have worked as a vet in small animal practice ever since. My specific veterinary interests are internal medicine, analgesia and small furries! I am the co-founder of the non-profit org Street Vet - a vet let volunteer initiative offering free accessible vet care to the homeless and their pets. What started as 2 vets (myself and my co-founder Sam Joseph) and a backpack in 2016, is now an army of over 300 veterinary professionals outreaching in 9 locations across the U.K. When I am not being a vet in practice or “ StreetVetting” , I am usually found walking my two huskies Timber and Innoko.”
