Sorry hun! But well done on finding one yourself. My insurance is pretty low cover wise, and I have yet to make a claim so I can't really reccomened any, plus it all kinda goes over my head lol Xx

If I remember Caryll was with Argos but changed to sainsburys, I could be wrong though lol

We're with Direct Line , pleaseed you got sorted but check out in 12 months a bit more thoroughly , my lad had his English Bull Mastiff insured with Argos and experienced an issue over payout for an ear problem, most important is you have some insurance

We have insured Rocky with Argos Pet Insurance on a Lifetime policy. The premium is £15.24 per month.

We were previously with PetPlan who wanted £22.50 per month for the same cover.

With Argos we went for the Platinum Policy which should pay out £7,000 in vet fees, £2 Million in 3rd Party Liability and with £65 excess per incident.

Hope this helps.

No, I was with M & S but I changed to Sainsbury's when M&S wanted to double the renewal premium. Apart from that M&S were great & both they & Sainsburys paid out substantial amounts without a quibble.

One thing to keep in mind is the excess of each policy, which I will be keeping in mind next time.

With More Than, it is £70 + 10%.

They do vary, so you really need to look at the policy document & read through. I know it's a pain, but it's worth it in the long run.

You'll find that none of them cover pre-existing conditions, and most won't cover you for the first 14 days of the policy unless it's a renewal with the same company.

Go for the highest level cover you can afford.

I went with pet plan which is a bit high but i got him covered for life and a second dog would be an extra 15 pound and they deal directly with my vets so no hassle for me x
