Petplan Pet insurance reviews (2342)

Totally reliable in paying up

5
Sasha is a tripaw dog of 13 years and I have been with Petplan since we got her from a rescue in 2016. We took out the life policy which has saved us a lot on her prescription meds. We have never had a claim refused Reviewed on: 26th September 2023

Do not cover euthanasia or cremation

I was hoping I would not have to worry about cost when my cat sadly passed away but I was wrong and had a £400 bill to pay Reviewed on: 26th September 2023

No hassle claims

5
This month two of my pets became unwell and my vet bills quickly added up. Luckily they both have Petplan insurance and my claims were paid within a day of my vets sending them in. All I had to do was provide my vets details! Two of my cats have ongoing conditions, irritable bowel disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - it’s such a relief knowing that there’s no penalty for claiming. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023

Doubled my premium

They may pay up but they sure do increase your premium to reflect this the year after and they know I cannot go anywhere else Reviewed on: 21st September 2023

Treatment by petplan

5
I had a rescue standard poodle. The company I was in withdrew from the market and so I went with pet plan. As my dog got older he needed more treatments including acupuncture. Pet plan dealt with all my claims including dental treatment promptly and efficiently. Reviewed on: 16th September 2023
