So - this new dog insurance proposal...

Our dog is chipped (the wife paid £500 for him!), no insurance - either 3rd party or vet.
And just how will they actual enforce chipping and/or insurance - if as said previously the authorities can't actual enforce the taxing and insuring of cars...
And he's a Spanial, he might lick you to death.

as has been said whilst in principle its a good idea in practise its pointless, look at all the uninsured cars....
How do the Swiss decide which dogs are dangerous? I read a study a while back that showed that Daschunds were the most aggressive dog breed.

we got our mutt 4 years ago from the rescue centre, a cross staff terrier. Cost us £75 and a few tins of food and a couple of old duvets as a donation, we got her chipped and 'done' into the bargain.
Can't get insurance for her because she's a rescue dog and we can't prove her age (wife saves up the family allowance to cover any vet stuff)
She's been great, totally house trained and friendly. She's like a house cat TBH.I see this as another way to raise cash, there'll be more of these crazy ideas in the coming months (tax revenues are way down) No.11 downing st needs all the £'s it can get.
Dog owners, the new law abiding car drivers.

Ditch-jockey has it right, those with the dogs already flout the laws that the rest of the normal population follow, it won't make a difference.
FWIW many pet health insurance schemes already include liability cover, ours does, but only if the dog has never been reported or complained about. Also not cheap, currently paying about £20/month, which is almost the same as the insurance on our 1.4 diesel Ford Fiesta.
