Animal Friends Pet insurance reviews (644)

They really care!

5
No matter what my enquiry they’ve always been super happy to listen and help. Their policies are clear and straightforward. I love that I also get a discount by having multiple pets insured too. Reviewed on: 18th November 2017

Great Value

5
I have for dogs so insurance can be expensive, however Animal Friends prices are very competitive and offer great value for money. They also provide 'all of life' cover which is essential if your pet gets diagnosed with a life long condition. My youngest dog, Bess ( a 3 year old black labrador) has just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and will need lifelong treatment but I know that I will always be able to finance her treatment as Animal Friends don't end your cover after a year!

Good value

not had to make a claim but good value for dog insurance Reviewed on: 23rd September 2017

An insurance company who won't let you down

5
I have been very impressed with Animal Friends insurance company since I have been using them (around 5 years) They are a no nonsense, plain speaking company with friendly and professional staff and policies to suit all situations and budgets. I have needed to use them once during this time and they were very efficient and they were also very sympathetic and caring when one of dogs died. I would and have recommended them to pet owning friends and family. Reviewed on: 17th September 2017

Paid my claim super fast directly to my vet

5
My little cat broke his tail and needed several operations. The bill was quickly mounting up to over£800 which I didn't have at the time. Animal friends dealt with everything and unlike other insurance companies, they paid my vet directly,after each operation, leaving me stress free, to concentrate on getting my moggy better. Reviewed on: 15th September 2017

Thankfully not had dealings with insurance yet

3
Not enough interaction with current insurer to make a judgement. Fingers crossed I either don't need to apply, or don't have to battle with them. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2017

No hassle

5
I can't claim direct with the vet so had to pay vet and claim back. Have claimed 3 times now and no problems at all. One claim was very expensive too. Make sure you take out the insurance that covers conditions for life. Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

Great service

5
Great service and very friendly. Would recommend Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

awful company, no compassion

1
Had to contact these to tell them my pet had died in a horrendous accident for the man to be like 'well we need proof it was actually an accident to claim on insurance'. No compassion whatsoever, and they still did not pay anything. AVOID!!!! Reviewed on: 3rd May 2017
