I've been with Petplan for 3 years now. Unfortunately my dog hurt his leg earlier this year. Claiming for both Vet and complementary treatments has been so easy and without any quibble. So glad I'm insured with Petplan. Reviewed on: 7th September 2022

Reassurance

5
When we adopted Millie (Labrador retriever) she was already 3 years old and came with a month's free cover from Petplan. I did some research into Petplan and other companies and found them to be the best value for money with all life cover Given the fact that she's a Labrador and we have no history of her breeding we felt it important to have Insurance to provide for Millie should she have any problems particularly breed related issues and Petplan tucked all the boxes especially as they are approved by our vets so no need to pay up front then make a claim Reviewed on: 7th September 2022
