Who are you with for Pet Insurance

Afternoon, hope you and the pets are enjoying the warm weather.

I've just had my pet insurance renewal arrive and it's now over twice the price of when I started on it 4 years ago.

I hope some of you can help.

What insurance company are you with and if you have used them for a claim how have they been? Also and if you don't mind sharing how much do you pay?

I am shopping around but want to make sure if I change it's a good insurance company I move to.

Moved to Staffy Pet Insurance

I am with animal friends and I have claimed once, I didn't get life time stupidly but I have now changed and its £16 a month Xx

I'm with direct line it's lifetime & £18.00 pm

i'm with pets at home for both the boys, costs me £27 a month for them altogether

Pets at Home for Both, just over £40 for the 2 of them lifetime cover

Thanks for the information folks. My policy is with tescos and about to go up to approx £21. That's with limited coverage of £3000 per claim for a maximum of 12 months. Think I have a shop around. Pet Plan has come in at £17.62 with a similar plan but say they will not have large price hikes like Tesco come renewal time.

any reason for the price hike , did you have a big claim fear before last (apparently they go by the year before last claim and not the previous year)

No not had anything, when I phoned up to cancel as price didn't change much they blamed on ever increasing number of claims. Etc.

well for me the price went down a touch for Tommy and up a touch for Tilly ( or vice versa can't remember) but together worked out the same as last year, all limits etc the same the only main difference was that they have now imposed a 10% contribution to any claim but the cover level is very good at 9K per year for the lifetime of any condition , I couldn't find better

I'm with More Than and it costs me £13 a month.
This is the lifetime policy (which you need to make sure you have, as it will cover illnesses for a lifetime, not just that specific year).

We have insured Rocky with Argos Pet Insurance on a Lifetime policy. The premium is £19.00 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.

Recently made a claim for his cut foot couldn't fault them for paying out very quickly (within a week of them receiving the claim form from the vet)

Hope this helps.

direct line for marley and john lewis for laska. had a check about the other week as marley is up for renewal. get this, £19 for him if i carry on with same policy, yet if i take out a new one on the web with him and laska its £15... pays to move about each year if you can as an initial quote will be much less than a renewal one.

definitely shop around, I rang up pets at home and sweet talked them into giving me a discount

Definitely right with this , only for me to maintain similar quote levels and cover levels I soon realised PAH was my only realistic option , no better levels without silly prices and at similar prices there was just no comparison in cover offered

Have moved this thread to Staffy Pet Insurance.

Hope you can get some cover sorted soon, good luck.

I done the exact same with More Than, in my first year I paid £13, then it bumped up to £17 in my second year/renewal. I then rang them and said I was going elsewhere so they switched me back onto the £13 a month. Result!

Thanks I found this helpful as I am looking for insurance just now, I have just adopted my wee staffy, all the prices I have seen so far are £22 to £27 and am definitely going for life time though seems the best one
