Sainsbury's Pet Insurance: Beware of the dog-napper

According to a new survey from Sainsbury's Pet Insurance, over one million Brits believe they have had their pet cat or dog stolen over the past five years.

That may seem like paranoia to some, but apparently pet theft is a very real crime. The Missing Pets Bureau has found that 38 per cent of dogs reported missing to them are actually stolen.

The bank found that there are three main reasons why cats are stolen: their value (some breeds can fetch thousands of pounds), their pedigree, or a ransom.

Steve Johnson, head of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance, said: "Around a quarter of all pet insurance policies offer no reward for the return of lost or stolen cats and dogs and will not provide financial assistance to owners who want to try and find their missing pet … We think this should be covered as standard."

Saga recently revealed that pet owners in the south-east can expect to pay the highest vet bills of anywhere in the UK.
