What makes Petplan different?

The specialist pet insurance provider

One of the main advantages of insuring your pet with Petplan is that we have developed strong relationships with charities and vets throughout the UK. The working relationship with veterinary practices allows us to settle your claims directly. In 2009 over 40% of claims were settled between Petplan and the vet, resulting in the customer only having to pay the excess for the total cost of treatment.

Our continuing support of charities nationwide saw us in 2008 pay over £1.3million in commission, helping them to improve the quality of life for abandoned and abused animals.

For over 30 years we have maintained our position as the market-leading pet insurance provider in the UK (Datamonitor, 2009). Petplan policies are underwritten by Allianz Insurance plc which is part of the global insurance provider Allianz Group. So you can be reassured that your policy is underwritten by one of the world’s largest insurers.

Your benefits as a Petplan customer

If you are seeking pet insurance from the specialists, then look no further. Our commitment to offering you quality cover extends beyond the traditional services offered by other pet insurance providers. We work hard to maintain and enhance the relationship with our customers and here are some of the benefits you could enjoy:

• A copy of our twice-yearly customer magazine, ‘PetPeople’
• Specially negotiated discounts for local and national events
• Competitions to win fantastic prizes
• Customer rewards and special discounts on pet related products/services
• Option to pay the vet directly in the event of a claim
• An online photo exhibition of animals called the Petplan National Petrait Gallery where pet owners around the world can upload photos of their pets.

We understand that, as pet owners, you may have specific needs when it comes to finding the right pet insurance. We are one of only a handful of pet insurance providers to offer a genuine ‘lifetime’ insurance policy as well as offering other levels of pet insurance cover.* We have a number of policies that you can choose from - designed to suit both your pocket and your pet’s needs.

A Pet Friendly Insurance Provider

We know that it is sometimes the small things that will influence your opinion of us; like settling a claim quickly and fairly, or paying the vet directly in the event of injury or illness. Whenever you talk to us, whether it’s in an emergency or to decide which cover is best for you, you can rely on us to be friendly, helpful and understanding.

As the pet people, we are passionate about animal welfare and the principle of responsible pet ownership. We support many charities and in 1994 set up The Petplan Charitable Trust which has, so far, raised over £5million towards a better, safer world for animals.
