Great Pet Insurance

Good information on the leaflet, all that is needed. On the website it was extremely easy to use and see what plan would be good for my cats. I am very happy with them as my pet insurance Reviewed on: 17th August 2019

Amazing service

We cannot recommend Petplan enough - wonderful service when we’ve had to claim but also very fair premium renewals whether we’ve claimed or not - I’ve tried other insurance companies but no one compares. Reviewed on: 17th August 2019

Very good

I have never had a problem with Petplan. My dog needed spinal surgery and the bill was paid quickly. 5* Reviewed on: 17th August 2019

Simple and quick

I have Petplan for 2 pets now and have always found the staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. When I was first looking into insurance for our pup, I asked people for their personal recommendations, in particular a close friend who had had to claim when their dog was injured in an accident. He told me that the claim was straightforward with no delays or quibbles over payments. As I have previously worked in insurance myself, I know that the best way to find out how good a company really is, is to make a claim. Reviewed on: 17th August 2019

I’ve been with Petplan for decades.I don’t shop around-they are simply the best.When you are super stressed because your beloved dog is ill there’s no fussing-they simply sort things out for you with the vet.When my last dog was very old there was no hesitation in paying for acupuncture to help him.And of course those little touches which show they care like a letter/email of condolence when they sadly leave.This year I even got a beautiful bouquet on my 60 th birthday!Im in several dog sites on Facebook and recommend them daily-truly excellent service Reviewed on: 16th August 2019

Petplan was recommended by friends and family and also my vets. It’s reputable and Whilst I have never had to claim (good news for Loki hehe), the whole process of setting up a policy for him was super easy, I had all the info to hand I could need to make my decision and the site navigated really nicely! Thank you! Reviewed on: 16th August 2019
