They have increased my premium by £100 for second year running. (forgot about auto renewal last year) Ozzie is a young fit crossbreed with no health problems. Got equivalent cover at under half the £450 they want. Usual insurance trick of hoping you're too busy to read the renewal.

Our dog had been to the vets previously for her anal glands smelling. I insured her with Argos, and a few weeks later took her back to the vets for her anal glands again.
The Vet said further tests revealed a polyp which required surgery costing £1000.
Argos refused to contribute claiming that it "was a previous medical condition".
I wouldn't recommend them and will not be renewing.

Cheap till your pet gets a problem. I'm tired in now and renewal is up to 254 pound. They dont care about animals, they just care about money

We have a 3 year old dog. When we first had her, we took insurance out. At 6 months, we claimed as she had a slight limp. She had xrays, and it determined a slight issue with her shoulder joint that required no further treatment. That year, her insurance was £20 per month. The following year, it rose to £35 per month. I understood we had claimed, but thought no more of it. This year, its gone up to £47 per month. I rang to ask why and they said its her age!!! They couldn't reduce it and I cant go elsewhere as she has a preexisting condition. At this rate, by the time she is 8 it will £100 per month. not happy but stuck .

Had the insurance for a few years but had to take cat for tests and they confirmed all would be covered, unfortunately outcome wasn't good for our cat and they dealt with everything in a helpful and sympathetic manner. Would recommend.

We took out the highest insurance cover for our cat who recently had a broken tooth. Unfortunately the insurance refused to pay anything out due to the fact they thought it could have been caused by decay. (Despite the vet saying it could well have been accidental). We'd have appreciated something towards the £250 cost but got absolutely nothing after paying them for the past 7 years!

We called Argos on a Sunday afternoon,when one of my cats came home badly injured.We went to out of hours vets and he was placed in ICU and we were distraught ,he pulled through but had a leg amputation which was all very expensive.Argos was sympathetic and there was no fuss with our claim.We paid our excess and Argos dealT with the rest.They made a traumatic time easier to deal with as we didn't have to worry about the bill.Our time was spent on Casper and his recovery.We even had a nice letter saying they were sorry for what had happened and they confimed the bill was paid.I always recommend Argos Pet Insurance to everyone.
