Review of the Petplan, Pet insurance:

Highly recommended!

Best pet insurance !

Unfortunately my kitten had so many issues even though I bought him from a reputable breeder. I learnt very quickly that Vet fees are so hard on your bank, I was so lucky to have Pet Plan Lifetime Ultimate cover so I didn't have to worry about my finances and I could concentrate on getting my baby better. Pet plan was so quick with payments and the whole process was so easy. Would highly recommend Pet plan to all pet owners! Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

Totally Hassle Free

Been with Petplan for over 10 years now and I have never been refused a payment and I find that the whole process is hassle free. When I have had to call them I find their advisors very knowledgeable and friendly. They make a harrowing time less stressful. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

No hesitation in having a months free pet insurance

Several years ago we got a new kitten ,my vet checked her and offered pet plan 4 weeks free insurance, unfortunately after two weeks the kitten became very I’ll and despite intense vet care she died, lucky for me Pet Plan paid the £1700 odd bill, only costing me the small access charge. So having just got a new puppy where the breeder offered 4 weeks free Pet Plan insurance, because of t.he previous good service I have had no trouble in accepting another free month as I updated to a full new policy, which was very easy to do, simply explained very clearly all the different levels, options and costs very easy and quick.
