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

Paw-fect Pet insurance

An excellent pet insurance policy, I have remained with animal Friends as I have a senior dog and want to ensure I have the best cover for him should I need it and the policy offered by Animal Friends ticks all the boxes. I love getting updates along with the monthly newsletter offering care and advice for my dog. The premium is reasonably priced for the cover I receive, highly recommended.

"Does what it says on the tin"

I have been using Animal Friends Pet Insurance for my dog for several years now. Fortunately I have not had any reason to make a claim on my insurance to this point but the cocer provided is second to none as well as having access to virtual veterinary advice via the Joli Pet app. This is invaluable because it provides free advice on many topics such as flea and tick treatment, grooming etc anmd several other other everyday pet ailments. I also receive quarterly emails from Animal Friends giving advice on a range of different topics - animal behavioural signs - for example. and an update on any new products which may have entered the animal market. I am very happy with animal friends and would have no hesitiation in recommending them to anyone looking for good pet insurance at a reasonable price. Reviewed on: 4th August 2023

Great pet insurance you can trust

I have been with Animal friends for a few years now and found making claims and being reimbursed costs back to be simple and stress free. It is also good to know that they are supporting charities along the way to. Good communication throughout and excellent newsletters full of information and support for your pets.

Both my dogs have been insured with Animal Friends for many years. They are great value and reliable. When making a claim, it was simple and quick and the payment came through immediately. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. Reviewed on: 4th August 2023

An accident left our cat with a crushed paw requiring expensive surgery & ongoing care. Animal Friends have made direct settlement of the bills from the veterinary hospital & our local vet quickly & without quibble. Reviewed on: 4th August 2023
