Pet insurance Reviews

We had a really bad experience with the Kennel Club's own insurance when our puppy died. They tool a whole year's premiums out of the payout and decided that visits to different vets (for the same problem) weren't related and charged an excess on each one. When we got a new puppy we were advised to look around and found a useful website at ...  Read the complete review

I have had pet insurance for the last ten years of my pets life and i would highly recommend it. I worked as a veterinary nurse for several years and i can honestly say that sadly those with pet insurance get a much better standard of care than those without. That is because their owners can agree to many more diagnostic tests without thought of ...  Read the complete review

Pet insurance is the most important aspect to owning a pet in my opinion- it has to be. This is for the sake of the animals, their welfare has to be paramount, and I would like to see a basic form of insurance mandatory for owning a dog or a cat, just as it is for owning a car for reasons I will explain. My daughter is about to qualify ...  Read the complete review

Pet insurance is one of those things that you hope you will never need, and it is tempting not to bother with yet another monthly expense, but I would have to say that I would always recommend getting some cover for a cat or dog if you can afford to. Having worked in a veterinary surgery for some years I have seen many times peoples' shock at the ...  Read the complete review

I have had insurance for my dog since I first bought her. Rather foolishly I just went with the company that I had been given 8 weeks free cover with from the breeder that I purchased the dog from. It was only when it was due for renewal that I shopped around and found the same bundle for much much cheaper! I was originally with Pet ...  Read the complete review

MORE TH>N pet insurance.... AVOID AVOID AVOID Spiraling premiums even if you have never claimed. I have had two dogs insured with them paying monthly.........BE VERY AWARE.....you are acutually entering into a legal agreement with very little or no way out. I am STILL paying for my dog which died two months ago. When I tried to cancel the policy i recieved a threatening legal letter which was most upsetting given the circumstances.

Equine and Leisure insurance (EandL) DONT BUY IT They take months to settle claims, seldom answer the phone, and when they do, they make pitiful excuses about why they havnt paid your claim. Funny how they managed to write to me at warp speed excluding the condition from any future claims, and also take my direct debit payments on time, ...  Read the complete review

About a year ago we had to have our old dog put down, it was as I'm sure you will appreciate a heartbreaking experience, and one I thought I'd never have to or want to go through again. We had not taken any insurance out on Tara and a few months before she passed away she developed a growth on her side. After taking vetinery advice we left things ...  Read the complete review

You’ve paid for the dog, or the cat, or the rabbit. Then you have to buy a basket or a hutch and all the bedding. After that you have to pay for food and water bowls and the first supply of food. You’ll have spent money on a collar and lead if you’ve bought a dog and usually there’s a toy or two so that energy is channelled in the right ...  Read the complete review

We had Bea our cat before we got Fudge the dog in 2002, Bea had never shown any illnesses and indeed the only reason we needed the vets were her immunisations each year. But then in 2002 one of the local taxi drivers bitches had puppies and we requested one. Luckily we got one and she already came with a name – Fudge, but it was when ...  Read the complete review

Having several pets I would like to have them insured. I know the sensible thing when you have animals is to get them insured. I dont argue with this but having several cats I would like to find an insurance company that would insure them all and not individually. If we insured individually it would be very expensive. ...  Read the complete review

From birth (22years ago) my family have had two rescue dogs (including my current dog) and a number of cats. None of these pets had been insured. But about two years ago I got a new dog. This one was MY dog, my responsibility, at my expense etc… Now, with the RSPCA, you get a month (or so) free insurance and from there you’re ...  Read the complete review
