Best cover for my furball

5
After a complex, as yet to be diagnosed, health issue with our dog Petplan have absolutely stepped up to the plate and covered his treatment to date without question. Our vet and referral vet were extremely happy to process payments via Petplan. It has been a simple process during a distressing time for all concerned. I’d recommend them without quibble.

Our hour of need

My dog has been referred twice to a referral hospital (hopefully never again), I found this an extremely frightening time as Molly is my world. Both times PetPlan was so reassuring and our cover meant all we needed to worry about was Molly. Thank you so much PetPlan. Reviewed on: 27th August 2019

Professional but kind

5
I have 3 cats and 3dogs insured with petplan. I’ve always found them efficient and professional but at the same time very human and kind. They like to chat about the animals and when I had to call after having a dog put to sleep they were so unbelievably kind as if they really knew us. Another dog was recently very ill but they didn’t make a drama out of any of it. Top marks. Reviewed on: 27th August 2019

why I'd recomend Pet Plan

Peace of mind guaranteed

Having a dog with epilepsy can be worrying not just because of the condition but the cost of vetinary care is a real concern. Having insurance cover with Petplan has provided peace of mind that his needs will be tended to and I don't have to worry about cost before accepting treatment. Petplan have been amazing and completely supportive throughout, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Petplan! Reviewed on: 27th August 2019
