Everything you need from an insurer

5
We have had 3 dogs with AF, the first 2 died at 8 and 4, and although the costs accrued during their lifetimes were higher than the premiums paid the company had no hesitation in paying out for the bills we had received from the vets. They also sent a card when we lost our last girl which proves that they go above and beyond in their customer card. Can’t recommend highly enough Reviewed on: 31st August 2021

My cat has been insured with Animal Friends for all of his 9years. During this time he has needed emergency treatment for bladder problems and his insurer paid up promptly without quibbling about cost which, as a pensioner, was very helpful to me. Highly recommended! Reviewed on: 31st August 2021

Don't Do It

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
