Hidden caps

As a customer, how am I meant to know the average price charged in the UK - my vet charges what they charge and I cannot control that!? Reviewed on: 27th September 2023

Poor service throughout

2
My experience with animal friends has not been great at all. Its been poor from the start and they certainly are not very 'Animal Friendly'. They entice you in with the charity work they do, but how much have they actually given nowadays.? My claims process was a nightmare and they declined it. I had to raise a complaint to get this reviewed which they changed their mind. Obviously not experienced at the assessor stage. Reviewed on: 21st September 2023

Awful and do not care

My little puppy was sadly hit by a car - they did not pay basically saying I was an awful owner and it was all my fault Reviewed on: 20th September 2023

peace of mind

our cat is a sphynx indoor cat and needs special care , luckily I haven't had to use our cat insurance yet as he has been healthy so far, but it just gives me peace of mind to know if anything happens my cat 's health bill will be covered . friendly staff at the other end of the phone and special offers are just a bonus. , I will recommend this pet insurance to friends and family . Reviewed on: 25th August 2023

Quick, cost-effective care

5
Our 11-year old cat had to undergo a couple of surgeries and required several rounds of medication. Claiming on our insurance was so straight-forward, the policy schedule was clear about what was and was not covered, and the decision was made quickly with funds disbursed within a few days. We're very happy and will continue to use Animal Friends for our pets! Reviewed on: 24th August 2023
