Review of the Animal Friends, Pet Insurance:

Don't Do It

1
Before you consider taking out insurance with these thieves....stop....put your debit card down. Don't believe their "animal friends" nicey nicey name/image...these guys will whatever they can to not pay you the money you're owed. My dog has been left lame and in pain for nearly 2 months while I've had two different claims denied. I've now just had to bite the bullet and pay for it myself. I've had insurance with them for 4 years and never claimed a penny. Then when I need them... guess what, they try to wriggle out of paying and couldn't care less about your pet. Best advice I can give you is to direct debit the money you would pay to them monthly into a savings account and further down the line if/when you need it you will have a pot of money to at least lessen the burden Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

Friendly staff. Better processes and advise needed.

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.
