always a pleasure to work with

Every time I interact with petplan I am happy. They are professional and courteous and always pay out promptly on my dog's claims. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Cannot fault them

5
I have been with PetPlan for Almost 16 years covering 4 Briards. Although they are expensive at the outset, they pay out immediately, they do not increase the premiums due to claims but do so purely on age and they provide the exact same cover when the dogs are taken abroad. We currently have 3 Briards and we are only now in the "red" as the dogs have not been ill. During the first 10 years, we were in "profit" re premiums vs claims. Cannot fault them and will continue to use them for future dogs. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Always been the best

Sadly two of our dogs have long term conditions. In addition one has lymphoma. Year after year Petplan have settled our claims without question, taking away that additional worry. Not the cheapest, but I believe the best Reviewed on: 4th August 2023

Top class insurance

My 4 year old cat was the exremelly unwell in November 2022. She had multiple fractures and had to have a fermerol neck ostectomy. Amidst this she developed Ileus and had to abdominal surgery with 20 cm of her intestine removed. It was also discovered that she had early stage Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy heart disease. She was touch and go at some points and she was in and out of various vets including the Royal Vetinary Hospital for small animals. She incurred a huge bill and although it went over the top cover that I have with Petplan, they paid for treatment up to the limit I was covered for. They paid the RVC directly for her treatment and reimbursed me for local vet cover. The whole process was smooth in very distressing circumstances. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Made an emotional time less stressful.

My Greyhound was diagnosed with bone cancer & only survived a couple of weeks. Petplans website was easy to use & navigate. All costs for treatment & final visit were covered except for my excess. Great service when you need it the most. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2023

Simply the best

No way would I have been able to keep my little constant companion without Petplan, no way could I afford the treatment he needs to keep him happy and healthy. They never quibble, payment is always made promptly. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2023

Excellent company for pet insurance

Pet insurance is a must these days and Petplan will deal with any and all claims professionally and quickly. They are able to communicate in all ways but what I have found most valuable is having an online account with all details of my pet insurance and also claims to be able to be made through their online portal. They keep you informed online and by email and if you want to speak to someone about anything it's also easy to contact them on the phone to get help. All documentation is available to download to be able to refer to while your pet is insured with them. I believe in the insurance industry you do get what you pay for and I would highly recommend Petplan for continued care of such a precious commodity. Reviewed on: 28th July 2023
