Looking out for our pets

I’ve never been with a pet insurer so understanding and attentive. Regulate emails filled with health tips and information makes my job as a pet owner so much simpler. Thank you Petplan x. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Worry Free

5
Petplan are excellent for providing advice about any issues, queries and questions. They understand every time they are contacted about a situation or query between my cat Jet and I as his owner. The vets we attend, work in harmony with Petplan. This makes stressful times much easier for us. I could not be without Petplan, knowing that my cat's treatment can be covered so that he can get better quickly. This gives me, as a cat owner, relief and peace of mind. Thank you Petplan Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Peace of mind

5
I have Petplan cover for my 3 cats and during the last 2 years 2 of my cats have needed treatment by a vet. Claiming the cost of treatment from Petplan is simple and in both cases the claims were met swiftly and the appropriate re-imbursement of costs was paid directly into my bank account. I now have peace of mind knowing that I can afford to have my elderly cats' health needs catered for. All 3 of my cats are now entitled to stay in good health as long as they receive good veterinary care, the fees for which are in the main, met by Petplan. Reviewed on: 29th July 2022

Pet plan means I don't worry about anything other than my pet if they are ill

5
Having a cat with a chronic health condition you'd think I'd hate the hassle of dealing with insurance but I don't give it a second thought. My cat had 4 weeks free pet insurance with pet plan when she was a kitten, she had a minor injury & pet plan were brilliant so I continued the insurance. 12months later my cat developed her ongoing illness & again the vets dealt directly with pet plan & I literally have never had to be concerned with that aspect of my cats care. It's a weight of my mind knowing my cats insurance will never hinder her health & consciously choose to make what can be a very stressful time so much easier for their customers.

Quick and efficient service. Petplan care about the animals they insure. Petplan prove this by sending helpful e-mails with care tips such as how to spot lameness and also tips with riding your horse. Love the e-mails, they are very informative and well thought out. Reviewed on: 29th July 2022

Good cover for younger dogs, not so much for older dogs

4
I’ve always been happy with petplan regardless of cost, however almost impossible to claim for any run of the mill issues with older dogs due to the change in excess fees, leaves me wondering if it’s worth continuing with my policy Reviewed on: 29th July 2022
