Petplan Pet insurance reviews (2342)

Just a bit pricey compared to other insurance companies

3
Great service and prompt pay out on claims but the premiums do rise significantly as the dog ages. Most vets will accept direct payment via PetPlan reducing the need to pay large amounts of money up front and claim it back later. Would definitely recommend PetPlan to people looking for lifetime cover but would caution that premiums can rise quite significantly at renewal. Reviewed on: 1st September 2019

Hassle free

Always had great customer service and paying the vet direct makes the whole process hassle free. Reviewed on: 31st August 2019

The only insurance I would trust

I have had 4 dogs over the previous 19 years which have each had a Petplan policy. I have been very impressed with the speed, professionalism and compassion by which the Petplan team have dealt with me each time I have needed them. The policies are good value for money and have covered all my needs, especially with my first dog requiring yearly treatment throughout her life. Thank you! Reviewed on: 31st August 2019
