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

Animal friends. Simply the best

5
Animal friends are the best insurance company I’ve ever come across. I’ve never had to shop around for cheaper insurance because they don’t hike their prices up every year. They also don’t charge any phenomenal admin costs for change of address etc. None at all. Just a small premium to pay for the knowledge that my little ones will be well cared for if anything unfortunate should occur Reviewed on: 10th September 2021

Very impressed

I love the way joli vets works I’ve used them once as my dog had a tick and the vet had a good look at it on web cam and directed me on how to remove it I was very impressed Reviewed on: 10th September 2021

Pawesome

I've used Animal Friends for many years and they are great. Their claims process is swift and smooth leaving very little for the fur-mum/dad to do - which is exactly what you need when you have a sick puppy (or other fur baby) who needs your attention, and not focusing the paperwork.
