Stay away to avoid Heartbreak in time of need! We have been with Petplan for over 7 years. We took out a lifetime policy, and by this year the annual premium was £4,000, with payments of around £18... Read more Reviewed on: 20th July 2026

Cover you can rely on

5
Petplan provides us with an excellent level of cover. They have an excellent reputation in the veterinary industry and are reliable enough that most vets are happy to claim from them directly which would help ease the burden of having to find the money to pay for an unexpected large bill.

I've claimed thousands

5
My horse has had various problems over the years and I've claimed each time hes had something wrong. from Tendon problems, liver disease and a fractured pedal bone payments were made direct to the vet prompt and through friendly staff. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

The purrrfect insurance..

5
I have four cats & they are all insured on a multiple pet plan. It was really easy to set up, add all of my information & compare price & plans. I have had to make a claim twice & both times I felt that the excess was completely fair considering how much the bills were. I had no issues with either claim & I didn’t have to do much at all. I hope that I don’t have to make another claim but I’m confident that if I did, it would be as straight forward & simple as before! A great insurance experience. Reviewed on: 25th July 2019

Professional and paid out promptly

Our lab had a knee op. Insurance paid out in full with no issues - recommended! Reviewed on: 15th July 2019

Invaluable peace-of-mind

5
When our rescue dog Misty became ill with diabetes, and then life-threatening pyometra, PetPlan were incredibly helpful in providing direct payments to the vet. As we are on a low income, we just couldn't afford the almost £7,000 bill for emergency surgery, treatment and aftercare at a specialist Vet Hospital. It's all because of PetPlan insurance that we could afford to see a veterinary ophthalmologist regarding our dog Kimber's rare eye condition. No questions about pay-outs, great over the phone support. Yes you can get cheaper insurance from other companies, but do they cover conditions for life? Do they always pay-out? Do they offer direct payments? And do you feel safe in the knowledge that your pet is protected? Reviewed on: 11th July 2019
