Havent got a dog now but used to use PetPlan and never had any complaints

More Than. Cheques sent very quickly, no questions asked. Been with them two years with two dogs, numerous claims. No problems at all.
Good price too.

We have got two policies - 1st one is with Direct Line and have had it approx 14yrs and has been brilliant, the dog has had two big operations and is now diabetic and is on insulin twice a day but each condition is only insured for one year. They have paid up quickly when we've made a claim however the premium has gone dramatically since we first took the policy out! Started off £4.99 and now its over £45!!
The 2nd policy is with Sainsburys Pet insurance and is very reasonable. We have had it for 7 years, not made any claims and it has only gone up by £2 per month. Each condition is covered for the life of the dog and the excess is very reasonable-I have recommended this policy to lots of my friends and they are all happy with it! Morethan is good also but the excess is alot and from what i can remember increases with the age of the dog!

Petplan quibbled over the veterinary reatment when I had to have poor old Shaney put to sleep :(
Read all small print on any plan very,very carefully .We had Pet plan for Shaney .As he got older it went up by leaps and bounds as did the excess..Any vets fees we ever had always came to just under or just over the excess which I found very strange .
If ( and it's a big if ) we were to have another dog I wouldn't use them again .

i use pdsa never had any problems with them and they are reasonably priced

[Chaffinch]

Had problems with PetPlan, paying out, so on the reccomendation of my vet changed to my horse insurers!! SEIB. The do pets as well as horses are reasonably prised and pay instantly brrrrrrilliant

I've got cats but I use PetPlan and we are very happy with them. One cat has a long term condition and there is no argument about paying up promptly for his claims. Yes it does go up a couple of pounds p.a. as the pet gets older and the excess increases, but so have others I've looked at.

I have three policies with Pet Plan, no problems, never been asked any questions. Used to be with Dog Breeders Insurance, loads of problems, they even asked for a death certificate when I lost one of my oldies and asked to cancel the policy.

Lottie is insured with Sainsburys. She was diagnosed a year ago with cartilage problems and I've had to claim quite a lot plus a lump sum for surgery after a bad bite from an evil German Shepherd. My premium only went up by £2 a month. Cheques received within 10 days and excellent customer service. They were recommended to me by a friend who has 2 labs who have also had quite a lot of problems. I have the 'for life' policy which for us has been very fortunate with Lottie's diagnosis.

Though our dear staffy has now died (13yrs) we had him insured with Direct Line. He had cancer twice (major operations plus aftercare etc.) plus several other things later. D.L. always settled quickly & had really sympathetic staff to help with claims. Though the last couple of years were more expensive naturally, we can highly recommend Direct Line & will certainly use them for any future dog/s we may have.

Tesco are very good at paying out. Not the cheapest though.
