German Shepherd care

I have had two German Shepherds insured with Scatch & Patch. Sadly the first passed away and Scratch and Patch were so sympathetic and helpful when making a claim. The second has just undergone MRI scan and again excellent service from Scratch and Patch. The staff go above and beyond to help. Easy to talk to and quick to proceed with claims. Kept me informed at all time. Reviewed on: 24th July 2025
