I used PetPlan, i think it's one of those a touch more expensive ones, but to be honest i heard more then enough from couple of friends and their insurance companies, the hassle, absolute ages on the phone etc and i thought it's not worth it, i got a 2 months free and first payment not due until january so happy Smile Give them a call and maybe get a quote Smile

I'm with Animal Friends. I was with Pet Plan for a few years, I never had to make a claim, but they were very easy to contact/always helpful. Unfortunately they kept raising my premium each year to the point that it was almost £50 a month! For a healthy staffie that I've never claimed for, it seemed extortionate! So I left, I pay £12.50 a month now, again, have never claimed but Animal Friend's also seem helpful and also donate to animal shelters regularly Smile

Research each insurance company and find what works best for you and to suit your budget its a bit of a headache but worth it in the long run specially if u need to claim for whatever reason.

I use John Lewis pet insurance and pay £24 a month to have Rio insured for £7500 a year, this includes any long term conditions he may develop, and so he'd still be insured for the next year with the condition Smile
