Pet Insurance

[lightoftruth]

I am wanting a pet insurance which commences immediatly after you confirm your insurance.

Could you recommend the best value and most extensive pet insurance.

also genral advise on what too look for in a pet insurance plan would be helpful

We have Petplan for Shaney and have always been very happy with them.They have always payed out promptly with no hassle. You have to bear in mind the age of your pet on taking out insurance ,also the area where you live is a big factor in the cost.For example when we lived in London our premiums were quite high . On moving to the sticks they were reduced considerably.
It's worth looking here for comparisons

How old is your pet? With some policies, you have to watch out for age-related clauses, or increase in premium.

I'm with sainbury's they are less expensive than petplan they cover up to 6.5k per year and they insure for life and have always been very good at paying out, but with them as with most insurers the policey takes effect 14 days after you take it out this is so you don't try to swindle the insurance companies

I'm with sainsburys who are extremely good value and good service - being students we've moved a lot in last year or so and they have kept the policy bang up to date unlike my home and car insurance which find a change of address v difficult to deal with!!

Depends what sort of pet you are insuring, as well as all the above.

SEIB (South Essex Insurance Brokers), are the best for horses, they are the mose economical and provide a great service.

Just on the off chance you are insuring something other that dog/cat

I have six animals to care for so do not have pet insurence, but i put away a small amount each month to pay for any treatment needed, most vets will always come to a arrangement reguarding payment if needed , four of my animals are from rescue centres and have different problems which insurence wont cover so this i found was the best way

I use Direct Line as i found they are one of the few who will pay the vet direct without you having to pay the vet and then reclaim the money.
