Pet Plan Insurance

...They don’t just provide pet healthcare insurance – they also offer home, life, motor and commercial insurance and in 2004 they were the general insurer of the year. One way and another I’ve dealt with Cornhill for over thirty years and I’ve never had a problem with them. Their pet health insurance is available for cats, dogs and rabbits and there’s a separate scheme for horses. My experience has been with dogs and when I refer to premiums and excesses ...
...life”. If you buy pet health insurance from Tesco, Churchill, Direct Line, or Paws they will stop paying out in respect of an illness or injury after the first twelve months. Others such as Sainsbury, More Than and Pet Healthcare Services will only pay a set figure per condition regardless of the actual cost of treatment. If I tell you a little about our dogs you’ll realise why this is so important. By the time that Kia was a year old she was spotty. ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

...if you bought a pedigree pet from a reputable breeder, then you would be given a free six week Petplan cover note which was validated over the phone before you left the breeders premises so giving you peace of mind. However due to changes concerning unfair practices breeders are no longer allowed to offer this facility. Be aware though that you will amongst other documents be given a telephone number which if called will still give the six week free ...

Well excuse my cynicism but in my experience expecting the RSPCA to rescue a stray or ill cat without a television crew as back up is as unlikely to happen as me winning the lottery.

...you have ever had a pet you will know just how expensive it is, food, treats, collar and lead, plus the trips to the vets, and boy are they expensive. After my partner bought me a miniature longhaired dachshund I decided to get her insured as the vet bills are very expensive and it was going to cost an arm and a leg for her injections.

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

...with us I looked into pet insurance. Most insurers were saying about £5-£10 a month and all kind of cover but the down side was that once they got to 8 years and over their cover would end. What was I supposed to do at that point? I saw an advert on television for Petplan which said animals were covered for life. I was really happy and went straight onto their website. It did indeed state that animals were covered for life and so that was the biggest ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

Pet Plan certainly aren't the cheapest pet insurer, but they are one of the best! The main bonus that puts them ahead of the rest is their 'cover for life'. This means that each year, following the excess payment (mine is currently £45), the animal is covered for continuing illnesses. Many insurance companies only pay out for the same disease for one year only, or up to a certain amount. If your animal is diagnosed with a long term illness, this ...
...even though you thought your pet was insured. Pet Plan insure cats, dogs, horses and rabbits (there may be more that I am not aware of). You get a discount if you insure 3 animals with them. Pedigree animals are more expensive to insure than crossbreeds and Pet Plan rarely refuse to pay out on claims, which are usually settled within a week. You have to pay the vets up front yourself and then claim the money back. You can pay Pet Plan yearly or ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

This was going to be long and expensive and as our six week trial was almost up and there was no way that Corns recovery was going to be completed we had no choice but to sign up with Petplan. Corns treatment lasted for three weeks and incuded ...

This is how it works . When you fill in the Petplan application form you are asked whether it is for a cat, dog, or rabbit and then for the age of your pet, breed and your postcode, all of which have a bearing on how much your premiums will be. An excess is applied to all ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

...be brutally honest I chose Pet Plan simply because it was the first to send me details and I thought the monthly premium was reasonable, (£14.00). The insurance contained some very good bonuses, such as cash paid if he dies, boarding kennel fees should I need to go into hospital, legal costs if he causes an accident and money if he goes missing to help find him (reassuring as he is a pedigree). It also states that if he needs very expensive treatment ...

The payment was not particularly quick, about 6 weeks, but very welcome when it did arrive, with a very thoughtful letter, asking after Tyson and hoping that he gets well soon. Since then Tyson has thankfully been very well, but if I ever consider cancelling the insurance I just remind myself that as he gets older he ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

I started using and recommending Pet Plan 14 years ago. I'm a member of their Breeder Scheme. Now I'm concerned about their exclusion policy and attempts to wriggle out of paying for claims. My son has a problem with his dog - a Cavalier. He insured his puppy a couple of weeks after buying her. On her visit to the vet for vaccinations the vet dispensed some eye drops because she had a tiny discharge (very common in young puppies). She is now 2 years ...
...pushed forward. The problem with Pet Plan is that they are refusing to pay for any diagnostic tests / treatment connected with her eye. The specialist vet is adamant that this is not a pre -existing condition. She's only recently had the problem and in no way is it connected with any puppy eye discharge at 8 weeks. Basically the problem as I see it is that Pet Plan's interpretation of pre - existing conditions means that if you have a part of the ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

Let me warn you that Petplan is not all is seems to be, and they certainly don\'t live up to the promises that they make. I have been fighting with them on my mothers behalf recently, and they seriously do like to drag out paying you for as long as possible. I have had to make many calls to thier claim department in the past year. Indeed I made one this morning. When my mother rescued her dog last year I strongly advised that she take out life cover ...

Review of Pet Plan Insurance

...The dog was alovely pet but unfortunate he was not a well dog and had many years of illness before he had to be put down. So knowing how expensive pets bills can be we decided the best thing to do would be to take out a pet plan to be on the safe side. For the last eleven years we have had the policy and lucky the cat has been fine. What I dislike is that as the cat has got older we now have to pay 20% of any vets due to the fact ,as they say older ...
...premium has gone up. I find this to be unfair as we have given them money over a long time without a claim. What would be nice would be some sort of discount for having the policy for this sort of time without a claim instead of just bumping up the cost because the cat is older. After saying that I would still recommend that insurance is a good idea if you think you would have trouble to pay vets fees. ...
