recommend me insurance!

I was told that on the phone but when I read the policy it said per condition not per year. I emailed them and they confirmed that it is only per condition for the life of the illness.

I was annoyed because I was going to change Foofoo and didn't based on the telephone call. I emailed them when Sol's came up for renewal in Dec but was then too late to cancel!

ah mine on the schedule says per condition per year .... I had better check though!

This is the email I received:

LIFETIME COVER
Sainsbury’s Pet Care covers each and every condition to the maximum benefit of £6,500. If your pet were to suffer from a lifetime condition such as diabetes, we would continue to cover this throughout their life, up until this maximum benefit. The only point at which that condition would be excluded from your policy would be if that maximum amount was reached.
I hope this answers your query satisfactorily,
but should you have any further queries
please e-mail us at customerservice@sainsburysbankpet.co.uk.

Thanks for your replies. i am thinking about going with petplan but the only problem im having is that with their covered for life policy it says it covers vet fees of upto £4000 a year which isnt as much as other companies offer, and i also cannot find if that means per condition per year or just per year their covered for life with unlimited vet fees looks very good but that is £16 a month per cat and i definately couldnt afford that. the other company i thought about going with was AXA but im more inclined to use a company who specialises in pet insurance rather then one who has their hand in a few different pies.

its a shame that all the pet insurance companies seem to have put their prices up, it is rather annoying when my mom is paying only a few pounds a month for life insurance for herself and im here having to pay £10 a month per cat for any sort of decent cover i dreead to think what their prices will e this time next year

the prices have gone up - just got my renewal and it has nearly doubled per month but having spent an hour searching on net is stil cheapest with most vet fees cover

Petplan do various cover for life policies, My cats are covered for up to £6000 per year and I'm sure that's for each illness/condition. I'd give them a ring and find out exactly what policies they offer and what is covered.

Do Petplan have an age limit? I couldn't get an online quote for P as didn't go up to her date of birth on the dropdown?

If you go on Petplan website and order online you only pay for 10 months instead of 12, you get 2 months free. The price they are quoting on there is £14.45 not £16.00.

I know Kay that's what attracted me but the form to apply only allowed cats up to 10 years? Portia is 14

Yep they have an age restriction but do say that you can call them and they may cover... no idea what that means.
