Does this report take into account that between 2009 - 2013 surgical and medical care for patients has improved dramatically, not to mention referring cases to a specialist has become the norm in most places. Interesting numbers but I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

Surely this has to do with the high cost of premiums and the amount of insurers who are restrictive when paying out , rather than the overall veterinary fees.

is the increase in claims proportionate to the increased useage of OOH services and referral practices? Is it that many first opinion practices are referring more cases (insured animals) these days to specialists
