Easy to get quotes, and compare levels of cover. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Excellent insurance for older dogs

5
We have an older dog and each time we have needed to use our insurance to help with medical costs the agents at Animal friends have been caring and sympathetic. Money is transferred rapidly with no chasing required. The policy we have is very transparent so we know the exact costs prior to a claim. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Really easy to see policy details, competitive pricing and brilliant added extras included, such as video vet calls. Lifetime cover was a must for me and they offer this which is fantastic. It’s easy to submit claims. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Friendly staff. Better processes and advise needed.

4
Friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately the cover is confusing, I would have liked better guidance on the different policies, what they cover and how they might be useful as a pet owner e.g. £12k per year is good for young dogs who might have an accident, £1k per condition better for older dogs who have a mixture of ongoing ailments. The process of submitting a claim is arduous and I don’t like the lack of an itemised list for what has been paid out. I would like to see more advise about where to buy medications for pets during an economic crisis. It’s beneficial for everyone as there’s a considerable cost saving for them.

Always prompt and supportive, and the free video vet consultations are excellent too. Have had to claim a couple of times with them and they are engaging and open, and payouts are delivered efficiently Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024
