Review of the Petplan, Pet Insurance:

My claim experience

Pet insurance is the insurance you have and hope you never have to claim on, this is my experience of the claim process. We had never insured any of the other pets, but with the changing climate and the costs involved we joined the PetPlan family. What had initially drawn us to the policy was that if you had an ongoing incident than this was covered, there was not a 12 month limit, or 3k limit, one day our policy came to rescue us in more ways than one. Our dog had got been out in the garden and came in collasped and could not walk, he is a Springer Spaniel, so an emergency visit to our Vet, who her 1st real question was are you insured, Yes, good, we can't treat him here, he needs to see a specialist. The vet duly arranged this for us, and a hours drive, we were at a private hospital. The dog was seen by a specialist, he was then referred for a mri scan, the results of this showed he had fractured the bone at the base of the spine and this had fragmented into his spinal cord, which was causing the paraylsis. We were given mediciation and asked to return a week later, to see what the outcome was, worst case we were going to lose him, it was a week of tears, cuddles, tender-hooks, cancelling a holiday. I am pleased to say at the next consultation we were given the good news that the dog was on the mend and we were discharged. I have to say how helpful everyone at PetPlan was, from the initial contact, the telephone calls from myself, from queries, to cancelling the holiday, for which was under the insurance claim, PetPlan handled everything for us, all we had to do was pay the intial depoist to the vets, and Pet Plan took care of everything. At the time we paid £60, our Vets bill, the private animal hospital fees and cancellation of the holiday, came it at nearly £3k. I am ever grateful to petplan for everything they did, it is like all insurances, you hope you never need them, but when you do you want them to be there and Petplan are.

Always excellent costumer service if I have a query.

Always excellent costumer service if I have a query. Always very helpful when I have had to put a claim in. Nice that my vets can put a claim in on my behalf without any questions asked. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Terrific company

Claiming is a breeze and claims are paid within a few days. Very impressive service. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Right cover right price.

Really helpful in ensuring you have the right cover. Knowledgeable staff who understand pet and owner needs. We have cover for life for the dog and lower level cover for a pony because we don’t do a lot with him. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2024

I have used Petplan for my lurcher, Summer for the past 11 years. From day 1, I've always found them to be very easy to deal with. If I've ever had to call them, they've always dealt with my enquiry in a professional way and all claims have been settled quicky without issue and I've always been kept well informed throughout the process. We very sadly lost Summer recently and even in her final claim, they were kind and understanding. I couldn't fault them. Although their premiums may be higher than some. I do believe the care and customer service makes that worthwhile Reviewed on: 21st August 2024

My vet recommended then the insurance doesn’t pay out as I had a problem with Donny’s front leg and they are associating his back legs. Shocking Reviewed on: 20th August 2024

Wonderful pet insurance

Our little dog has Pruritus which means he needs continuing treatment which Petplan cover, for life! It's wonderful to know our little guy is being well looked after. Claims are handled quickly and efficiently without fuss. Wonderful. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

Thank you Petplan

Deals with claims so efficiently and quickly. People on the phone are helpful when you call, and I have peace of mind knowing that if I claim, my premium is not affected Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Insurance also helps you make the right decision

I had the lifetime £7k policy for both of my boys (cats) over the years I never needed to use my insurance but I knew I had purchased it for a reason so kept it, and then one day one of my boys stopped eating, just thinking it was possibly something to do with his teeth/mouth however it was much more serious than that. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma and FIV, the decision we made was to let him go peacefully with us by his side. Our vets dealt with everything and claimed directly with Petplan, who paid all bar the excess. We didn't need to get involved with anything and we received emails to update us on the claim but it wasn't too much contact. Reviewed on: 6th August 2024

Hassle free and quick claims payment

I've had to claim thousands this year for my three pets insured with Petplan. Each claim was dealt with quickly and all I had to do was fill out a few details online. It meant I could focus on getting my pets back to good health, instead of worrying about when I'll get my money back. Reviewed on: 6th August 2024
