Complementary treatment cover is an inner limit of your total vet fee cover limit. The limit for complementary therapy varies depending on which cover level you select.

So, if you were to have a successful claim of £500 for complementary treatment with a £4,000 policy, you would have £3,500 left of the policy limit for the rest of your policy year.
