We’ve had our Miniature Pinscher with them since we rescued her 6 years ago. We’ve only claimed twice in all that time but large amounts (£3,000 and the latest over £5,000) and both times they’ve paid within days, no additional questions but more importantly our premium has less than doubled over that time. Amazing service from the best pet insurer in the business.

Our dogs over the years have all been on Petplan. They have always been dependable and reliable, so when our lovely old rescue dog got a tumour, we felt reassured that her treatment would be covered, one less worry. Her bill was paid within a few days, and she is recovering well.

There are a number of factors that affect how much your pet insurance will cost. In general it is more expensive to insure a dog than a cat, with a rabbit insurance policy likely to be the cheapest of the three. Further factors include the age and breed of your pet as well as vet bill costs in your area. Why not get a quote to find out how much insurance would cost for your pet.
It doesn’t matter how old or young your beloved pet is – an accident or illness could happen at any time so it’s important to make sure you have pet insurance from the moment you take them home. If your pet suffers an injury or develops an illness before they’re insured, unfortunately that condition won’t be covered by most pet insurance policies – including ours.
Every pet is individual and unique so we have a range of plans to suit every cat, dog and rabbit, from time-limited to lifetime policies – we even have a multi-pet discount if you have more than one furry friend. We’ve compiled a handy guide explaining the different types of policies in the market and to help you decide which best meets your needs.
Over the last 45 years, Petplan has helped millions of pets through illness and injury. Today, we’re still the UK’s favourite pet insurer, insuring over 1.3 million pets. If you are seeking pet insurance from the specialists, then look no further. Whether it’s settling a claim quickly, paying your vet directly or finding the right cover for you, we try to make insuring your pet as easy as possible. Plus, we don’t directly increase your premium because you’ve made a claim.

Did you know that you are more likely to claim on your pet insurance than your home or motor policy? You might think that if your pet isn’t the active type you don’t need insurance – but getting ill is actually much more common than getting injured.

Just like us, pets are susceptible to anything from skin conditions to contracting an auto-immune disease, and everything in between. They need the same level of care as we do, whether that’s an X-ray, an MRI scan, or even chemotherapy to help diagnose and treat their health problems. Insuring your pet allows you to focus on getting your pet back to good health – not on worrying about the vet bills you might need to pay out for.
