Fab! Hassle-Free!

We have been with Petplan since she was a few weeks old and never made a claim I've the last 8 years, but we had to claim for veterinary attention twice this year and both times the process has been simple, hassle-free and has certainly eased a burden off our minds. Well done Petplan - keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 18th August 2018

Pain free claim

Our gorgeous dog Pepper was suffering with severe weight loss which was a real worry. Eventually our Vet managed to sort the problem but it was quite costly. It was a very stressful time seeing our pet poorly. We put a claim in with PetPlan and heard within days that they had settled the bill. What a relief! We are hugely grateful.

You know you're covered

Fortunately our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has had good health and no accidents over the past few years. Last year she developed a heart murmur and now needs a pill twice a day for the rest of her life. The tablets are expensive but as it was a new condition the treatment was covered by Petplan. This helps with our peace of mind. The claim process is simple with a downloadable form that is easy to complete. We are reimbursed quickly. Thank you Petplan for the reassurance of cover for our much loved pet. Reviewed on: 17th August 2018

Peace of Mind Policy

Two dogs, both covered for life. Numerous claims over the last 7 years , probably in excess of 8k and PetPlan have never quibbled a claim. Lovely to deal with and claims paid with great speed and efficiency. 10/10 Reviewed on: 16th August 2018

Unrivalled

My young dog was diagnosed with an eye problem that required specialist ophthalmic treatment. Petplan were amazing throughout this trying time. They even agreed to deal directly with the specialist vets and kept me informed and updated on my claim. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them more strongly. Having a poorly dog is very upsetting and worrying, especially when as a family we have ongoing health problems to deal with as well. Petplan made the whole process as stress free as possible and acted with compassion, professionalism and efficiency. They are a first class company. Reviewed on: 16th August 2018
