Review of the Petplan, Pet insurance:

Fast, friendly and efficient

5
Only delays in payment were due to shortstaffing at vet. Even then petplan advised for reason for delay. Reviewed on: 29th September 2023

No quibble from Petplan about paying

5
I found Petplan really good with paying up -no quibble and the new premiums are not unreasonable. Better than the two other insurance companies I have had in the past. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Simple service for claims

5
Having never had reason to claim on pet insurance in about 20 years, I was really pleased to see how easy claiming was recently when my dog had extensive dental treatment. Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Claims Honoured

4
Petplan have always honoured my claims, and even when one claim ended with my cat having to be euthanised, they still paid for the treatment up to that point and treated the manner very sensitively. Can't fault them in their animal-centred approach! Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Great pet insurance company

4
Very happy with Pet Plan. Have used them for years and wouldn't go elsewhere. They pay up for bone fide treatment when you need them and seem genuinely interested in your pet. Nice company to deal with. I recommend them to all my friends. I think private insurance is essential if you own a pet. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Good, well informed pet insurance

5
Send lots of information about looking after pets which is useful and interesting Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Extremely well trusted and regarded!

5
Always extremely helpful and quick to deal with. I have had to call a few times and always been satisfied Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Helpful, kind and understanding staff

5
I don’t often have to phone or contact Petplan because everything is sorted out between our vet practice and Petplan, which makes everything really stress free. However, the last time I called with a question, the colleague was so helpful and interested, it really was a pleasure to talk with her. It shone through our conversation that she loved animals and engaged with me in a positive way. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Pet loving company

5
Petplan really understands how important pets are to their families and they do their best to support us when our animals are in trouble. Not only are they sympathetic and supportive when we need advice or make a claim, but there are regular useful emails about animal health. An insurance company that really understands what they are insuring. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022

Thrilled!

Thrilled with the cover for our cockapoo Teddy, as well as all of the fantastic information and advice we regularly receive Reviewed on: 26th July 2022
