Half domesticated & Ferral Cats

Twinkle is a ferral cat and half domesticated to. Sometimes she lets me kiss her paws, touch her tummy and kiss her tail to. All you need to do if you get a half domesticated & half Ferral cat is reminded the cat that you are the boss Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

Easy communication, great help tondestress in stressful situations

When needed the insurance because of an emergency operatiom on our cat they did not discussed, when a cat died within a car accident, they refund the insurance fee without asking. It is especially within those situation no one want to discuss with any insurance. And the seam to know tat. Very much appreciated. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

The bes, but not the most expensive

5
Petplan have a reputation for being the best and for good reason. They are totally professional yet friendly to deal with. You would think all this made them the most expensive, but they remain competitive and fair. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

easy to deal with, knowledgeable staff

I had to recently make a claim and having not made a claim before was impressed with the way it was dealt with. It was dealt with quickly and professionally. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

Fab company!

5
My bun had an overnight stay in hospital and it was very stressful and upsetting. I paid upfront to the hospital and vetinary surgery to get him the emergency care. Once he had recovered and was home the claims was very simple and was paid very quickly. It was nice to have a smooth easy claim after an upsetting experience. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

Wonderful Service

Professional supportive organisation. Assistance at every step when required. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2022

The only company I will use.

5
Having previously worked in a veterinary practice dealing with insurance claims and as a pet owner for over 20 years I always recommend Petplan. I have seen how they deal with both sides of the coin and would not insure my pets with any other company. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2022
