Thread: What pet insurance?

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll do some shopping around. I went on GoCompare but it doesn't have the insurers you have mentioned, so tomorrow i'll call a few people. I have heard good things about petplan, so i'll be grilling the other companies a little. I'll post what I find out if anyone is interested?

As for the kitten we visited, he's gorgeous! I do want to tell you, but I'm also wondering if any of you can guess?! He's a popular colour with you folk on here and he's similar (but not identical) to his dad. Maybe with a bit of sleuthing, someone can work it out!!!

So excited now! I cant thank his breeder enough, she has been great with everything and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you!

Maybe I should just say....!!!

We used to be with Petplan but now we use Saga as they appear to be a lot cheaper and give us the same cover.

Oh, you are a tease! Black smoke???

We took on the pet for life plan from PetPlan and all i can say is that im glad we did, we've been to the vets a lot with Schrödinger's regarding his runny poopoo'laroo and he's currently going through his second round of fecal tests, i reckon with past tests, consultations, bloods, , etc its totalled up over £400 so im VERY glad we had cover.

I did quite a bit of research on this when we obtained our two and in the end opted for LV Pet Insurance's Premier policy. It has a £5K per condition benefit with no time limit providing you stay insured with them. Gracie's policy is £7.50 a month and Monty's is £8.50 a month and the reviews on them were pretty good too.

UK call centre too which is a bonus!

Good luck with whatever you decide

working in a finance office of a vets all i will say is read the small print very carefully - check whether per condition , per year , life cover per condition...unfortunately alot of people get bitten once they try to claim...I would also ask how long it is taking them to pay out at the moment as I know one very large company that is taking 8 weeks to reimburse !!!

More insurers to haggle with! I've had a topsy-turvy day, starting with my partners PhD graduation (which was nice!) and finishing with taking her grandmother to A&E (not nice). So pet insurance has to wait till tomorrow.

Howlinbob, a black smoke?! Whatever gives you that idea?!

Want any more clues?!

Evil! Come on, spill it!

I'm in the US and we have Pet Plan. We had a claim when our prior kitten was diagnosed with FIP and had to be put to sleep after appx $1300 worth of tests. Pet Plan paid the entire claim minus the deductible and they reimbursed what I paid for the kitten because I had the gold coverage. They were excellent to deal with and I recommend them. I haven't had to submit any claims for our 2 yr old Birman. We now have a MC kitten and I insured him with Pet Plan too.

These people sound too good to be true: VetsMediCover - VetsMediCover Homepage

Anyone have any real world experience ?

They offer cover for £14/month for any cat, and postcode. Incuding dental care as long as the cat has annual checkups and required treatment is carried out.

I am very tempted, with 3 cats, to set up a saving account and just put a fixed amount into it every month as my own "insurance". Especially, given my current circumstances, I am lucky enough to be able to cover any level of treatment out of savings anyway. They do say insurance is only worth having if you can't afford it.
