An important update from Perfect Pet Insurance, great to support this cause;
Perfect Pet Insurance, the pet insurance brand of Salisbury-based Tedaisy Insurance Group, has become an official supporting partner of Ruby’s Law, the national campaign to have pets recognised and protected in domestic abuse law.
The sponsorship will help fund Ruby’s Law advocacy events in London, Cardiff, Manchester or Leeds, and Edinburgh, briefings for MPs, and training for legal, animal welfare and domestic abuse professionals.
In England and Wales, pets are treated as property in law. That means the court orders designed to protect people from an abuser don’t explicitly cover their pets, even though threatening or harming a pet is a recognised way for abusers to intimidate and control their victims.
Ruby’s Law is calling for three changes:
- protection orders that explicitly cover pets
- courts able to decide where a pet lives and keep it safe
- family law that recognises harming a pet as a form of coercive control
The campaign was founded by family law barrister Christina Warner and is named after her cat, Ruby. Its proposals were introduced to Parliament by Ruth Jones MP in March 2026 as the Domestic Abuse (Pets) Bill.
Paul Byrne, Group Chairman and CEO of Tedaisy Insurance Group, said: “As a business built around protecting pets and the people who love them, Ruby’s Law is a cause close to our hearts. Abusers too often use pets to control their victims, and nobody should have to stay somewhere unsafe because they’re afraid of what will happen to the animal they love. We’re proud to back the campaign and help give pets the protection they need.”
