Hassle free

PetPlan’s no quibble, comprehensive cover cuts out the middle man and pays the vet directly. What’s not to like! Reviewed on: 13th October 2023

Everything sorted quickly

My Maltese was attacked by a dog last November and without the help of my vets, Hird & Partners, Halifax, and Petplan, I don’t know how we would have coped. We had wonderful care and I can’t imagine what would have happened without the insurance from Petplan, I would never be without it. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022

Caring insurance

My dog Millie had a fall and broke her leg which had to have a pin in her leg. She saw our own vet at first then was referred to a specialist vet for the op. Petplan covered all her bills straight away. Excellent service. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022

I feel my cats are in safe hands with Petplan

5
I’ve been with Petplan over 19 year in total with my pets past and present. Claims have always been settled quickly. Recently Petplan reduced my insurance increase when I explained it was becoming difficult with the rising costs of special prescribed pet foods for one of my cats with a medical condition due the the cost of living crisis. Petplan really do care about the pets and owners insured with them. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022

A trusted pet insurance company

When we rehomed our dog Joy from the Dogs Trust 6 years ago We were given a free limited period of insurance cover with petplan and took it up permanently when it expired. Fortunately we have only needed to claim once for Joy since. We found the company straightforward and easy to deal with. It is reassuring to know that as Joy is getting older we have access to the insurance if needed and that she won't be excluded because of her age. If you were in any doubt about this company, an endorsement from Noel Fitzpatrick should deal the deal. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022
