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

My poor pooch has had her issues on more than one occasion. I am so glad I chose Animal Friends pet insurance because they have been fantastic, fare, extremely helpful, reassuring plus very supportive all the way and at every time we have needed their services. I have had no negative issues, in fact quite the opposite, they have been what we hoped for, and more, from having pet insurance and have paid out within days of recieving and processing my claim . Fabulous professional service, fantastic friendly and knowledgable staff, online plus over the phone. Guys I 100% recommend them and I do not use my recommendations lightly - believe you me! Choose Animal Friends and you won't regret it, I didn't. Reviewed on: 24th August 2022

I have been with Animal Friends for 3 years now and found it to be affordable and always on the end of the phone when needed. They keep in touch with updates on helpful ideas. I made a claim recently and it was dealt with speedily and efficiently. Reviewed on: 24th August 2022

Like the fact there is access to a vet online 24/7 but found dealing with a claim somewhat lengthy and stressful

Can’t afford not to have insurance but can’t always afford vet fees. Good to have access to a free online vet nurse Reviewed on: 24th August 2022
