It does go up as the dog gets older and it can vary according to the breed.Also,there will likely be a substantial excess where you pay the first wad of any claim plus a limit on repeat treatments for the same problem. Dare I suggest an alternative------Start a dog fund savings plan and put the £40 a month in that. Younger dogs rarely get sick unless it is serious enough to be terminal so you should be able to build up a fair bit in the fund for those older dog issues. Its a bit of a gamble but Ive tried it and Ive tried insurance and I have probably come out evens. Other considerations-----Get the right sort of dog, a small cross breed terrier type mutt which is likely to be robust and relatively cheap to repair if needed. Avoid large pedigree dogs which are prone to design faults and expensive trouble.
