Pet Insurance

tilly · 11-07-2008, 09:48 PM

I am with pet plan and have never had a problem with them. They always pay even with busters ashma they pay out.

The only things to watch with insurance is that the cat is covered for the length of the problem (well up to the total which is £4000 per yer for buster)and for the life of the animal.

best of luck

Thanks for all the feedback and help

I was comparing AXA and petplan, and petplan only cover up to £4,000 vet bills, but AXA cover £7,000. Also, Petplan was £10 per month whilst AXA was £7. Although in the Petplan form I did specify there were two cats, but it said the quote was for Darcy and I'm not sure if £10 was for one or both

I've got six week of the Pet Plan from CP left anyway so taking my time over it. They're indoor cats so not likely to get into accidents, and they're not pedigree so a lesser risk of conditions forming but I would feel so much better with some cover.

Cheers for your help everyone

Will let you know what I choose in the end.

P.S. My brain is completely money orientated at the moment as I just got my first energy bill through in my new flat which is white meter, and OH MY. Have prices risen or WHAT?! My planned trip into town for a wee bit of shopping had to be cancelled, so I'm on Catsey instead hehehe.

Actually Fran I think that's at the discretion of the vets practice rather than dependent on insurance

My insurance companies would all pay the vets direct, but my vets don't accept that (except in emergencies or exceptional circumstances) so I always have to pay first and then claim it back.

Thanks for the info Fran, and making it clear charliebubs! I've read a few threads on insurance and was getting confused about paying out etc. I'm in the process of looking for a vet now and may actually enquire straight out whether they go to the insurance company or I have to...

I'm after insurance for the two new kittens, sounds like petplan is the way to go.

Anyone had any bad experiences with petplan?
