Stick £30 a month in a high interest account - these pet policies have more get out clauses than any seasonal joke!

If you dont have to use any you can buy a bigger dog next time ;)

Hi m8
I've got mine with Direct Line £15 a month and he's a French Mastiff. Worth it as he's always getting into bother as he's mental. They have 3 levels of cover.
Alas

How much for fire and theft?
Do they pay out if you dog goes woof?

We use Pet Plan and have had superb service... well recommended :)

ARGOS ............. cheap as chips

Worth reading through any terms & conditions before you buy though as many 'cheap' policies will NOT pay out for the same issue more than once in the dogs lifetime... also they often have a limit as to how long they will pay out for any one issue (i.e. if you have to have medication for a number of years it's only covered for the first 12 months)... so have a close read before you decide :)

More than

Not the cheapest, but excellent service and quick payout.

Petplan. They have been great with our 2 cats that were ill and died. Avoid the cheaper ones, there are more exclusions.

Marks and Sparks. Compared loads, better then all the rest in terms of what is covered. (Even better covered then pet plan).

Lucky for me, as "Harvey's" K9 teeth problems are currently on £1,100....:eek2:

Also, told the misses NO EXCESS, paid a little extra, but again worth it.

Can dogs drive in the UK?

Another vote for Pet Plan here they've saved us thousands over the years with our mad lab!

Red says thanks a lot guys..

He's a beauty jimi:D

Directline - £10 a month. The policy has paid out more than £500 in the last 12 months and over £200 before that. In the first 12 months of having the policy I don't think we used it. Well worth having - vet bills for even minor ops can soon run into 100s if not 1000s - much more than your 30 quid a month into a high interest a/c.

Excess is £45 which is not counted for continued treatment. So far, they've only not covered one element of one bill - not bad really. I think it's time you shopped around for a better policy!

Chris, when you really need a policy the most many will just say 'Bye' - particularly at renewal time... I'm not saying there arent good ones, just didnt have time to suss out all their small print. This is particularly so as the smaller the cost the smaller the small print - is it a covered 'fault' or a non-covered genetic abnormality with that daschund's dislocating shoulder for e.g...

Be interesting to know how many people with Pet ins have BUPA for themselves ;)
