    Good Cover, Reasonable Price

    Easy to get quotes, and compare levels of cover.

We have an older dog and each time we have needed to use our insurance to help with medical costs the agents at Animal friends have been caring and sympathetic. Money is transferred rapidly with no chasing required. The policy we have is very transparent so we know the exact costs prior to a claim. Read more Read less

Unfortunately the cover is confusing, I would have liked better guidance on the different policies, what they cover and how they might be useful as a pet owner e.g. £12k per year is good for young dogs who might have an accident, £1k per condition better for older dogs who have a mixture of ongoing ailments. The process of submitting a claim is arduous and I don’t like the lack of an itemised list for what has been paid out. I would like to see more advise about where to buy medications for pets during an economic crisis. It’s beneficial for everyone as there’s a considerable cost saving for them. Read more Read less
