Easy website and recommended by others Reviewed on: 18th August 2019

Pet insurance as it should be

5
We have been with petplan for so long now, over 20 years I think. It is insurance as it should be. An insurance company that has the clients satisification at its heart Reviewed on: 18th August 2019

Good Cover & Quick to pay out.

5
Although Petplan may be a little more expensive than some insurances it is really a question of "you get what you pay for". In their case this is excellent cover, easy to fill in forms, and very quick payment for claims. Reviewed on: 18th August 2019

First class, compassionate and helpful

5
My cats have been covered by Petplan for more decades than I care to remember. Throughout this time, the company has been efficient and professional, keeping me updated with all changes (clearly explained), and staff dealing with queries have been friendly and helpful. Their terms and conditions are fair, and they provide very good coverage. Claims have been processed quickly, with no objectional delays or arguments. I have been particularly impressed by the compassionate handling of the final claims for the three cats we have lost, with cards of sympathy containing personal messages being sent separately from the claims cheque. Petplan gives the impression that athough it is a commercial business, they do care for their clients on a personal basis, and understand the anxiety and grief which we suffer when our animals are ill or we lose them.

We have had a couple of nasty moments where our dogs have needed emergency surgery and have never once worried about the bill being paid. Excellent value for money and great service. Reviewed on: 17th August 2019
