Pet insurance

[appollo1]

Pet Plan for my animals. The vet bills for our Appollo (GSD)were in the thousands and Pet Plan were great right up yo the end. Now Alfie and the cat are with them. All paperwork done through vets.

We are with Co-op for Tanner
Luckily we haven't had to claim but one of the trainers from our class is with them and didn't have a problem claiming when his Rotties cruciate needed doing.

Make sure you get the right cover.
If you get time limited then you are only covered for any condition that happens in that insurance period.
When you next insure you won't be covered for it anymore. So treatment could get expensive if it was a lifelong condition.

Unfortunately for us, Tanner is quite expensive to cover just because of his breed
But if my aggressive Rottweiler does lick someone to death, at least we have £1,000,000 liability insurance!

Cheers for the help guys. We're still researching, Petplan seems to tick the boxes but quite dear, but then you can't put a price on your pet really. Or we could get a cheaper policy and keep putting money away in case we have problems and need to fork out later on...

Thanks for the tips MM, the vet gave us plenty warning about the 12 month cover, definitely one to be avoided!

Don't discount this option, or even going without insurance and simply putting money aside each month to your own fund. Our last dog developed gastric issues when only a few months old and we could not get any sensibly priced insurance so went the self-insured route. Even though we ended up forking out for several expensive tumour removal ops the fund never ran dry and we ended up with an existing pot when we started doing the same with our current dog. It's not for everyone as you don't get some of the other benefits like liability cover but do consider it.
