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

Very friendly customer services.

Not much use at all

Dog had cyst which vet drained - but as dog over 8 years old you NEVER get paid out full vet fees or medication. - Then if that isnt enough they deduct £99 from every claim - There is a word for Animal Friends - money grabbing theiving bastards - Think they are disgusting as most pets are not ill when below 8 years but when you want them they dont back up all their claims Bill Rollins Gt Holland - Essex Reviewed on: 9th September 2021

Hi i joined animal friends after adopting a rescue cat, never had insurance before and always been lucky but there was something about this scamp that made me get him insured, he needed a big eye operation that AF sorted quickly and without any delay, and later got in a fight and needed x rays and antibiotics, only had him 18 months so thank goodness for AF been a godsend, friendly and efficient staff and no nonsense sorting payment. Have recommended to my friends, Reviewed on: 9th September 2021
