There are loads of good insurance companies out there! You need to find one that offers lifetime cover for any condition (ie one that doesn't finish at the end of each insurance period!) and one that will pay vets direct if necessary.

Most vets are happy to do a direct claim if the cost of treatment is over a certain amount, and the insurance company is a well known & reputable one. They will normally charge a small administration fee. Ask your vet if they will do this.

I'm with Sainsbury's & they are quite reasonable considering I've claimed £5000!

I was with M & S before & although they paid out without a problem they doubled the renewal premium, so I changed.

I've been looking to change, I'm with animal friends but the cover is very basic, the best one I have seen so far is Argos Xx

For me to use Argos would cost me £43 per month, as opposed to Sainsburys which costs £26 per month even after claiming £5000 last year!

I doubt I could ever have saved the amount that Dempsey has cost me in 3 short years! Sad

I had been lucky with my gsds they never needed many visits to the vets
I still have some of the saved money from my gsds it's amazing how much you can save in 12 years lol

We also opted to stay with pet plan, plus the rescue centre gets a percentage of our renewal fee. Think I pay 22.00 per month for lifetime cover x

Which level, though? To compete with the Sainsburys quote, I would have to go for the top level of Argos & it would cost me nearly twice as much!
