Pet Plan Reviews

Probably the best plan around? I have kept dogs for years and yes the first time I took insurance I got stung with my dog having a life long condition that was only covered for 12 months! The vet then advised me to take out cover with pet plan and it has been the best thing I ever did. The cover lasted for the life of my dogs - everything from a ...  Read the complete review

27th October 2004. Ashford horse sales. Why I went that day I will never know! but... I had no money on me, I had no transport and I certainly had no plans to buy a horse. Walking amongst the stalls I ooh'd and ahh'd at a few of the ponies but nothing managed to pique my interest. Until I got to the last few stalls. There I saw two ponies ...  Read the complete review

In the past I have had some hefty bills from the vets after animals have been in fights or had accidents. Only on one occasion did we opt for putting the animal down and that was because he had been hit by a car and the injuries were too much to fix. Even then we were faced with a large bill to pay. I love my animals and I couldn't ...  Read the complete review

Believe me if you have a pet that's as kamikaze as my siamese cat then decent pet insurance in absolutely essential! I have used Pet plan for years, our old cat was 10 when she died and we had never had to make a claim, so when we got our new siamese kitten i ummed and arrhed about whether to bother. OMG am I glad I ...  Read the complete review

I have just received my annual renewal notice for my dogs insurance and was astounded to find that on Pet plans Supreme dog policy they have now changed the Veterinary Fees Maximum Benefit from "Unlimited" to £12,000 per year. Last year my dog received specialist treatment for a cancerous growth and the bills totalled approx £4.000. My ...  Read the complete review

My horse was diagnosed with headshaking in march 2008, In december i made the tough decision to have him put down, not only because of the vets advise, he was dangerous to ride and even more he was in permanent discomfort and pain We tried things such as herble medicines and headshaknig nets ect, however nothing worked. He was unridable throughout ...  Read the complete review

My two Cats (Monty and Lou) has been with Pet plan for 3 years until last August. My experience with them has been very good. The premium at the time was about £13 each for them and I thought it was reasonable. Lou had been poorly almost right after we get the cover and require expensive treatment. One was an allergy test which costed around ...  Read the complete review

Pet plan offered one of the best/cheapest covers that I could afford when I took out pet insurance for the three legged cat that I adopted from a local sanctuary. Within a month of her moving in she was attacked by a dog/fox and suffered from a broken tail close to the base. She had to have her tail amputated at a cost of £1200 which ...  Read the complete review

We have a 12 year old King Charles Spaniel, which unfortunately became ill in 2008. After receiving a vets bill for over £500 I though it would not be a problem because we had Pet Plan. Good old Pet Plan, giving you peace of mind remember, paid back less than a quarter of the cost. Having paid insurance since the day we got the dog, 12 years I am disgusted with them and have raised an official complaint. Hidden costs and restrictions. My advice, open up a savings account for the dog. I have paid in nearly £5000 pounds over the years and this is the result. Most of our vet bills have always been under what you can claim. Pet Plan has been a total waste of time and money. Just my opinion!

Pet Plan I wouldnot use any one else. both my dogs are insured with Petpaln at a cost of £48.97 per month, this may sound a lot but read on and you will understan why it to me is worth every penny!. After having our 2nd labrador a couple of months I noticed she was sitting funny, so booked her in the vets just to be safe. Our vets had a look ...  Read the complete review

Absolute rip off - paid pet plan for 15 years and £1000s of pounds worth of insurance. They paid out on £150, on a £600 claim by seperating out the different visits to the vet for the same thing as different claims. Insurance cover gets more expensive and the excess gets bigger and the cover gets less the older the dog is so if you think you would be much much better off just putting the money in a savings account.

Plus they have clearly reviewed themselves in the first couple of reviews on this site - as two of the reviews start with the same line about how they've been around for ages. Leave well alone

l'd like to write about our experiences with Petplan a company who were the first pioneers of insurance for Pets in 1976. We have owned pets all our married life and for the first 20 years we didn't have insurance as we had non pedigree cats and we were very hard up raising 4 children and paying the bills. I think we were very fortunate during ...  Read the complete review

I have been with Petplan for 7 years and had been very happy with them until this year (2008), when an unofficial change of policy seems to have been implemented (though they will not admit to any such change), as a result of which I have now left. My cat has had a problem with serious cystitis flare-ups all his life, for which he has been twice ...  Read the complete review

Petplan specialises in pet insurance for domestic pets and was one of the first companies to enter the market back in 1976. One of the big differences between Petplan and many other insurance providers is that they are very active within the animal welfare community. Everything they do is still designed to help ensure a better life for the pet ...  Read the complete review

I regard Pet Plan as one of the best pet insurance companies around. They are the original pet insurance company. My mothers dog had a probem with her liver for the last few years of her life and thanks to pet plan she lived those years receiving the best veterinary care available. An excess was payable every year (as with any insurance) but ...  Read the complete review

Our livery yard was burgled recently and about 15 of us lost tack. Everyone's insurer paid out except mine - Petplan. They wouldn't pay anything - a technical detail in the small print about the type of lock. No other insurers raised problems or even sent out an assessor. Since then I have heard numerous accounts from people about problems ...  Read the complete review

We have had a PetPlan policy for our labrador for two years. For her they have been an absolute life saver. We took out our policy in March 2006. Our lab Harriet was 7 and we felt we should get her some cover as she was getting older. We were advised by a vet that we should waste no time in getting her insured as it is almost impossible ...  Read the complete review

We have just had a claim for our 12 week old Labbrador puppy declined by PetPlan on the grounds that he was anaemic at 4 weeks old. As part of the investigation into anaemia a liver enzime test was done, which showed a very slight abnormality. However this was so slight that the breeder's vet wasn't concerned at all. Our own vet supports her ...  Read the complete review

Until about three months ago, I had had no experience of pet insurance, as in 2002 we adopted a sixteen-year-old cat who was already well past the age to be eligible for insurance. Sadly, we lost her to kidney disease in August 2006. I missed her even more than I had expected to, and the house and garden just didn't seem right without a cat. I ...  Read the complete review
