"I know what it means if we can't fulfil that"

Nina Morgan worries about losing her dog, Frankie, due to the only insurer available for Jersey XL Bully type dogs, Dogs Trust UK, cancelling its third party insurance from July due to increased claims on its policy causing rising costs.

In November, Jersey's politicians approved tighter dog laws with new measures including dangerous dogs needing third party public liability insurance, which must be approved by the States Veterinary Officer.

Constable Mike Jackson, head of the Constables Committee which put forward the approved amendments, said "the last thing" he would want was a dog to be put down for lack of insurance and that the States Vet was "looking at the alternatives" alongside DEFRA and the UK.
