Fantastic company, great support through a tough time

Animal Friends have been fantastic through a tough year with my horse, supporting us along the way and allowing us to make the best decisions for him medically. I would not hesitate to recommend and sing their praises to friends, and actually already have! The process is straightforward and the online portal easy to use. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Excellent service

I judge a company by whether they have clear descriptions, a helpful website and value for money. Add in the great customer service and online vet contact included then Animal Friends win on all fronts. Well done and thank you. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Animal friends could not be more helpful with our recent vets bills . Quick and efficient Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Very good and simple

I feel that the insuramce jargon is kept to a minimum, there's so much choice available for amounts to insure your animals and also different excess options which can lower premiums which is great when things are a struggle at the moment. Easy to contact and friendly staff Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Fantastic, Prompt & Professional

I have insured my dog with Animal Friends since I got him as an 8week puppy. He’s now 8years old & I have had to use my insurance a couple of times due to ruptured ligaments in both back legs a year a part. Both times the adviser has been very friendly, understanding, supportive and professional. And making a claim has been hassle free & prompt straight to my Vets. Thank you Animal Friends for all you do. From myself & my pooch x Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Exceptional

I've had to make multiple claims due to my dog being on a lot of ongoing conditions. It's simple straight forward and quick to claim. Every time I need to contact them I don't have a load of robots and questions holding for what seems like days, just straight through to a lovely helpful human being. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Quick, clear and easy

Your support with our dog Skye has been amazing, always quick and easy to contact, and our premiums have been really competitive too. Thanks! Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Honest, fast and efficient.

If you're looking for a reliable pet insurance provider, look no further than Animal Friends. We have made several claims for the cost of investigations and an emergency procedure and Animals Friends have covered the policy allowance immediately communicating with both my vet surgery and myself via email and phone. Absolutely brilliant service at a very reasonable cost. The Joii virtual vet app is a great bonus too and one I have used several times, always receiving a call back within minutes and great advice from a real vet via video call. Animal Friends is a 5* pet insurance provider and one I'm happy to recommended to family and friends. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Helpful and quick to respond to queries.
