Credit card provider Sainsbury's Finance has advised owners of small dogs to take out pet insurance.

The advice follows news that the number of claims its pet insurance company received linked to these animals was around 45% of the total it insured in the first half of 2009.

The small dogs have gained popularity due to the trend created by celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Geri Halliwell.

Lucy Hunter, Sainsbury's pet insurance manager, said: "Between 2006 and 2008 the number of these animals insured by Sainsbury's Pet Insurance increased by 41.3%."

The credit card provider also stated those who take out pet insurance could be entitled to double Nectar points on their Sainsbury's shopping for two years.

Another way in which consumers can collect these points is by taking out a Sainsbury's credit card.

Those using the card gain two Nectar points for every £1 they spend on Sainsbury's shopping for the first two years.

The typical variable rate on the card is 15.9% APR and there is 0% on all other shopping for the first ten months.
