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

Reliable pet insurance at a good price

I have been with Animal Friends for many years now. They are efficient in dealing with claims and there is no delay at all in receiving payment now they have their new 'Pawtal' which means the vet sends the claim in for you. I love that they donate thousands to animal charities. Reviewed on: 4th August 2023

Fantastic!

I have been with Animal Friends for a number of years for different dogs that I have owned. I have found them to be a fantastic insurance company with realistic insurance prices and fantastic customer service throughout any claims which has helped take away some of the stress when my dalmatians were unwell. I would definitely recommend them! Reviewed on: 4th August 2023
