Tesco Pet Insurance Reviews


Newest Review: ... on his pancreas, an enlarged liver and problems with his blood count and it was clear that regardless of what the vet did, operations etc he would not survive and the decision was to make him comfortable and end his pain. My reward was that Tesco pet insurance consider that because the decision to put him to sleep was made they would not pay for this deducting the amount of euthanasia from the cheque even though this was part of the process and treatment. I found them uncaring and even contacting their chief executive hasn't even warranted a reply. This is not about the money, it is about caring for our pets and from this day not one penny ... more

I had my cat, and his three brothers and sisters insured with Tesco pet insurance ( admin by Royal Sun Alliance ) and he had to go to the vets for treatment. There it was found that he had a growth on his pancreas, an enlarged liver and problems with his blood count and it was clear that regardless of what the vet did, operations etc he would not survive and the decision was to make him comfortable and end his pain.

Our border collie, Finley was insured through Tesco Pet Insurance as we believed it to be sensible in case of vets fees or worse. We bought the policy online and were paying in the region of £22 a month, which went up in the second year from £20. We didn't really pay much attention to this as we had, or thought we had, peace of mind. To be honest, after the first year, we couldn't be bothered to chase around to save a pound or two so left it to renew, automatically by Direct Debit. Unfortunately, our dog was hit by a car and died 2 weeks ago. It was totally my fault for him not being on a lead at the time (take heed, I thought that nothing could go ... Read the complete review

After losing my lovely little cat, Mr Pickles nearly 2 years ago now (he died just before his 2nd birthday after being born with a twisted abdomen) I got hit for a massive vets bill because I did not have any insurance, why would I, he was young, didn't go very far and had bundles of energy, but the unthinkable happened and in a cruel twist of fate, we lost the little man and I lost a heck of a lot of money (I would pay it over again if it brought him back) but time moves on and I now have Norman, a rescue cat and at day one I got him insured with Tesco Pet Insrance. The reason I choose Tesco was after doing a few searches on the internet and looking at ... Read the complete review

When we rescued our cats - Honey and Rocky we decided to insure them as have seen too many friends having to stump up huge amounts for vet bills. How did I find them? I searched on money supermarket inputting my pets details and Tesco was the most competive quote. You can go direct from the Tesco website under "finance and insurance" or you can call them but you will get a cheaper quote online (supposedly 20% cheaper but who knows!) What did I ensure? Two cats, both moggies (but very gorgeous), one is 4 years old the other two. We picked the basic cover as they dont go out anywhere dangerous and are not old. They are both ...

I have five dogs which we have accumulating over a number of years and seeing as I had Tesco Pet Insurance for the first one, just kept adding the successive dogs to the policy. That was fine until I had to use the policy for one of our dogs to have an xray which cost over £100. I claimed on the insurance policy which was easy enough as I could give all the details over the phone. The problem came in trying to chase Tesco to reimburse me for the cost of this procedure. We had claimed for £50 back from the policy after we had taken our excess of £60 off and had to wait about four weeks to be reimbursed. We were lucky as the amount we were claiming was not going to ... Read the complete review
