Petplan appear very aware of the specialised treatments and care that cats need, and the comprehensive nature of their lifetime insurance scheme addresses virtually everything you'd expect to be covered - including things you wouldn't think of, such as feline behavioural issues.

Brilliant service with our cats issues.

5
One of our cats has had gum & teeth problems since he was a kitten, requiring specialist treatment. He has a heart murmer that required a heart scan. He's had behavioural issues, requiring a therapist & he's had a number of injuries due to fights. Every claim has been accepted & only not paid out if the claim was under our excess. I rang around insurance companies before joining to check what they covered as a previous cat had a broken jaw, due to being hit by a car & it wasn't covered by insurance. Whilst their prices may be a bit higher than some, their cover far exceeds others is quick & easy to make a claim and they keep you well informed at all times. I wouldn't go with any over pet insurers. Reviewed on: 26th July 2022
