Burrow
They depend on you
for everything.
Even the vet bills.
Insurance built for Holland Lops, guinea pigs, ferrets, and every small creature most insurers quietly refuse.
The sounds only you
know to worry about
You know your animal's normal. We've built cover around every moment when it isn't.
Dental Abscesses
That soft grinding when your rabbit is content — but the same jaw can harbour a £600 abscess. Dental cover included as standard.
GI Stasis & Infections
A hamster who stops running at 2am is a hamster who needs a vet by morning. Emergency consultations covered.
Urinary Stones
Guinea pigs are stoic until they aren't. Bladder stones require surgery. We've got the bill.
Insulinoma & Adrenal Disease
Ferrets are prone to both. Treatment is long-term. We cover ongoing management, not just the diagnosis.
Neurological Conditions
Head tilt in rabbits is heartbreaking and expensive. Most insurers exclude it. We cover it.
Pododermatitis
Common in guinea pigs and rabbits. Requires dressings, antibiotics, sometimes surgery. Covered from day one.
Full policy wording available on request. Subject to underwriting.
Cover that moves through
your actual day
Not a policy document. The real story of what happens when something goes wrong — and how Burrow sits quietly beside you through it.
The morning health check
You run your fingers along Mochi's spine before the kettle boils. Today there's a lump near her shoulder. You've felt it before. This time it's bigger.
The emergency call
"He hasn't eaten since yesterday and he's grinding his teeth." The emergency vet is £180 just to walk through the door. Burrow covers the consultation and the X-ray that follows.
The recovery pen
The playpen is smaller now, padded with fleece. There are syringes of Critical Care on the kitchen counter. The follow-up appointment is Thursday. All of it covered.
The average unexpected vet bill for a small animal is £340. The average Burrow premium is £8.40/month.
Protect Your Small OneReal bills.
Real relief.
Every quote is a real claim paid. Every name is a real person who stayed up googling symptoms at 2am.
"Biscuit had a molar spur that needed filing under general anaesthetic. £520. Burrow paid within 48 hours. I cried with relief."

"Figaro swallowed a button. Emergency surgery, three nights hospitalised. £1,240. I genuinely don't know what I'd have done without this policy."
James Okafor
Manchester · Ferret, 2 yrs
"My daughter's class hamster came home permanently after lockdown. Hector got wet tail. Burrow covered the vet, the antibiotics, and the follow-up. No questions asked."
Priya Mehta
Edinburgh · Syrian hamster, 1 yr
"Three guinea pigs, two bladder stones between them in 18 months. Burrow paid for both surgeries. No excess, no argument. Just a bank transfer."
Tom & Clare Whitfield
Leeds · Guinea pigs, bonded pair
"Clover developed head tilt overnight. E. cuniculi. Every other insurer I called said it was excluded. Burrow paid the neurologist, the medication, everything."
