Peace of mind for your furry friends

Advantages: a good all round policy suitable in particular for older dogs
Disadvantages: none what so ever in my 8 year expereience

I’ve insured my dogs through Sainsbury’s for the past 8 years now and I thought I would share my experience with you. Despite the problems with my old dog’s health my experience has been very good with Sainsbury.

Why I initially chose them

I actually had a policy with Petplan but when my German shepherd hit 8, regardless of the fact I had only made 1 claim before, they ceased to insure her. I believe this is different ...
...company that insured older dogs but didn’t charge such large amounts to make it pointless. My vet couldn’t help... they have one of these kickback schemes where they only recommend Petplan and get a cut of the policy fees I suppose.

It wasn’t an easy search, believe me, most insurers only seem to want young, fit and healthy dogs. Sainsbury did give me a reasonable quiote and the policy appeared to be good so I signed up but the proof ... more

Review of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance

Insuring your little precious

Advantages: Best vets fees I've found
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet

...£2500. So when I investigated Sainsbury's policy I was more than pleased to find out that their vets fee coverage was for a staggering £6500 per claim. This would have be a godsend in Tara's case. My policy cost me £6.20 per month which is also substantially cheaper than other quotes I received, which increased up to £9.79 per month. The policy is underwritten by AXA plc. POLICY SUMMARY 1. The £6500 vets fee coverage no matter how long it takes ...
...3. £200 toe cover cost of dietary treatment for treatment of illness. 4. Legal liability up to £2,000,000 for accident of injury caused to persons due to your pet. 5. Up to £100 per week to a maximum of £1000 in a member of your resident family has to go into hospital or for paying someone to look after your pet. 6. Advertising costs up to £1000 to find your lost pet. 7. £250 reward for information leading to the finding of your lost pet. 8. ...

Review of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance

Pet Insurance gives you peace of mind....

Advantages: Sainsburys' is a trusted name
Disadvantages: If you have a sickly pet then there is a lot to think about.

...information needed to decide if Sainsbury's Pet Insurance is indeed the best for you and your pets needs. At the moment they are offering a 5% discount on premiums if you book it online...something to be considered... It offers you continuous cover for your pets illness or injury to the value of £6,500.... Here is an brief outline of what the Insurance covers....

Review of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance

Excellent!!!

Advantages: Superb service
Disadvantages: None

Sainsburys have been a life saver, literally in my dogs case! My dog fell ill about a year after i took out the insurance and i was worried as to how they would react to the big claim i initially put in for. My dog has a terminal illness and if it was not for my pet insurance i dont know what i would have done. Sainsburys have been brilliant!! Very understanding, efficient and i have had no problems with the endless claims i have had to make over ...
...sainsburys due to the £6,500 vet fee cover, however i know that since i signed with them they have increased this to £7,500 which is brilliant, especially for the price! I have come across a couple of other insurers with equal coverage, however they are far more expensive! I am very glad i took out my policy with sainsburys and i would definitely recommend them to any pet owner. 1st class service! ...

Review of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance

Straight forward

Advantages: Straight forward claims form - very quick service
Disadvantages: None!

I have used Sainsbury's pet insurance for my dog for the last 5 1/2 years. I have made two claims. The first when my dog was aged 2 for a foot injury. The vets themselves filled in the claim form and Sainsubury's paid them direct. The vets were happy to see that my pet was insured by Sainsbury's. The second time was a couple of weeks ago and it was over 4 hundred pounds. I had to pay for the bill myself then claim the money back. The main waiting ...
...as I kept checking with Sainsbury's to see if and when they had received my claim form. Sainsbury's received my claim on a Tuesday and when I arrived home the following Tuesday the cheque was on my doormat with a very nice letter in it too. Excellent service all round from Sainsbury's Pet Insurance. Thank you! I have read that some people think their premiums are high. Well, if you worked it out on a weekly basis, then you will see that it isn't ...

Quick review of Sainsbury's Pet Insurance

When I took out Sainsbury's pet insurance I was pleasantly surprised about the first years premium. Unfortunately it didn't stay that way. After the first year was over the premium trebled! I only found out because I checked my bank statement. When I contacted them they said they will contact the underwriter and get back to me. They actually offered to take £50 of the premium, but it was still more than double of what I paid the previous year and I didn't even make a claim! I've now found a better insurance and I save £100 over the year! ...

A good choice for pet insurance

Advantages: Very cheap excess, excellent customer service
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to other policies

I have had Direct Line pet insurance for a while now. I have found them to be consistently excellent. I'm writing this review to point out one particularly good thing about Direct Line Pet Insurance: the excess charge. If you are considering Pet Insurance at the moment, this is something you really need to look carefully at. All of the very cheap policies have high excess charges, and this could have a really big impact. For example, Sainsburys Pet Insurance has an excess of £50 or 15% of the treatment, whichever is higher. This means that if your pet is involved in a serious accident, or develops a serious illness, you could be left with a bill for literally hundreds of pounds. Perhaps not surprisingly, they hide the excess charge information very deeply in the small print. However Direct Line charges a flat, one ...

Review of Direct Line Pet Insurance

Interest with minimum effort

Advantages: Good rates, good access options
Disadvantages: Limited range, poor customer service

offers - Savings - direct saver, child trust fund and depositing services - Borrowing - loans or car buying - Insuring - travel insurance, car insurance, home insurance, life insurance, pet insurance, travel money and identity fraud services - Sainsburys Credit Card - Travel Services - travel insurance or travel money As with all financial institutions Sainsburys always has offers and deals, if you want to check them out at http://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/ So, to sum up I would say that Sainsburys banking is really quite good. Obviously I can only really comment on the savings accounts offered, but I think that they are good. I would recommend them to just about anyone I would suggest the Internet Saver over the Instant Access due to the higher interest rate, but with the service you receive and the long delays in moving money out ...
