Animal Friends Pet insurance reviews (648)

Thankfully not had dealings with insurance yet

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

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

awful company, no compassion

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

Ok but concerned due to policy changes

I've registered my pug with Animal Friends since he was 4 months old. He had a nasty ear infection which was caused by nothing other than water getting into his ear however they won't cover him for any issues with his ears for the rest of his life. Shame. Reviewed on: 7th April 2017

Good claims process

Good claims process. Easy to follow, super advisor to keep you in the loop and speedy payment. Unfortunately unfair price raise this year but still affordable and trusted Reviewed on: 6th April 2017

Super Value

I have been with Animal Friends for the last 5 years and in this time have had 2 pets need emergency surgery. I have found their customer advisors to be extremely helpful and compassionate and have had no problems claiming on my insurance. The fees are fantastic and they offer super peace of mind.

No major increase in premium

Shocked that this year's cat insurance is much the same price as last year's. Never known a company be like this. I was all set to find a cheaper quote through the comparison sites but no need. Shocked I tell ya! Reviewed on: 13th October 2016

We have a very active cocker spaniel and twice in the last year have had to submit claims for his crashing through undergrowth injuries. Both times the claim was processed without a problem. Reviewed on: 27th August 2016
