Fast, friendly and efficient

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

I was recommended this insurer

I didn't need to claim anything yet. I heard from friends that it's one of the best insurers on the UK market. I checked reviews online as well and I'm happy with the results. I was speaking on the phone with customer service, I wasn't sure about the payments and direct debit. I received help and explanation, gentleman that I was speaking with was very friendly and professional. Reviewed on: 16th September 2021

Iv used pet plan over the years and they have always been 100% reliable in support & making things as strait forward as possible when claiming.
