Worry free insurance

5
Last year my cat needed lots of tests to determine what was causing his rapid shallow breathing. I was concerned as the cost was estimated to be over £3000. He was scanned at Medivet in Hendon via my local Medivet in Oxted. I needn't have worried as my vet was happy to deal with Petplan directly as they make it so easy and are always relaible , I was ony required to pay the excess of £95. Bydealing the Vet directly I didn't need to worry about having to find the moneyto pay the whole bill. A great weight off my mind. I wouldn't use anyone else now. Thank you Petplan Reviewed on: 20th August 2019

There for you and horse owners as a whole

I've been with Petplan for over 10 years, since I first bought my horse and took over the policy from the breeder. Horses are complicated creatures, and mine has perhaps had more problems than some, but Petplan's support has eased the worry when there have been issues to deal with, and helped me keep my horse happy, healthy and competing well into his teens.
