I've been with petplan for many years with a variety of dogs and cats. Costs are reasonable and every time I've made a claim they have been dealt with quickly and efficiently with no stress for me. Whenever I've had to cancel a policy the staff have been caring and compassionate making all necessary changes quickly to ensure I'm not paying more than I should, making a difficult time just a little easier and less painful Reviewed on: 15th July 2023

Total Peace of Mind for over 25 years!

5
I've been insuring my beloveds cats and dogs (about 18 rescues over the years) with Petplan for 25 years and it gives me total peace of mind. I always know I am able to get my pets treated by the vet at the first sign of illness. This is especially important with the ever rising vet's charges and general cost of living, and now I am retired and living on a restricted income.. Petplan offer a choice of plans, all providing excellent cover.. I highly recommend Petplan to anyone with pets. Reviewed on: 15th July 2023

Always there when you need them!

All my pets are registered with petplan. I have 3 dogs, 5 cats and 2 rabbits. Whenever any of my pets needs veterinary care I don't worry about the cost as I have never had any issues with making a claim. One of my cats started coughing last year and they paid straight away for her to go to referral for ct scans. Same again for one of my dogs who is currently battling a thymoma. They pay quickly and without question. Any new pets I get go straight onto petplan insurance. Reviewed on: 15th July 2023
