Great Pet Insurance Company

I've only ever had positive experiences with Direct Line Pet Insurance. The premiums are fair and affordable, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Thankfully I've not had to claim yet, but the process has been explain thoroughly and based on other's experiences, I don't believe I'll have any problems if/when I do need to make a claim.

Pet insurance help

Direct line are always so easy to deal with, our vet just sends off the forms for us. Although they are extra busy during Covid they have kept us updated on the claim process. Would always recommend. Reviewed on: 5th September 2020

Very fast and responsive

My cat Bee was unfortunately knocked down and we thought we were going to lose her. If it had not have been for direct line stepping in and taking over all the financial parts then it would have been a lot more stressful. We called them to explain what had happened and they responded straight away and organised for her to be treated at her vets. I didnt have to worry about anything. Bee fully recovered and igruly believe it's because direct line were so fast in responding and getting her the treatment she needed. I would definitely recommend Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Fast help in an animal emergency

All my pets are insured by Direct Line and when Charlie cat was hit by a car earlier this year I knew they would take care of the vet bill. He needed several overnight stays and surgery and I was very relieved that I had their insurance and it was so easy to make a claim. He’s back to his old self now. Reviewed on: 17th September 2018

Amazing service

During and extremely sad and grief stricken time when losing my beloved pet, direct line could not have dealt with the situation on a kinder, more compassionate way. They made every claim easy and straight forward and I genuinely felt the people I was talking to cared. Forever grateful. Reviewed on: 9th September 2018
