Pet advice

Having Petplan pet insurance can help you cover the cost of vet bills and get your pet the best care. If you have more than one furry friend, you can save £12 per pet on your insurance costs with our multi-pet discount.
Just like their feline friends, dogs need proper care when they're ill or injured. It's sensible to plan ahead and get pet insurance to help cover the cost if your dog needs veterinary attention.
Just like their canine counterparts, cats need proper care if sick or injured. It's sensible to plan ahead and get pet insurance to help cover the cost if your cat does need treatment.
Rabbits may be small, but their vet bills can still accumulate. Petplan's Rabbit Plan provides £4,000 every year to help with vet bills helping you cover the cost of care for your pet.
Multiple furry friends? Get a £12 discount per pet every year when you insure more than one pet with us. You can tailor your cover for each pet and manage payments in a way that works for you.
Did you know that you’re more likely to claim on your pet insurance than your car or home policy? Unfortunately, pets are just as susceptible to illness and injury as we are – in fact, 90% of the claims Petplan pays out are for illness, rather than accident. Insurance can help you ensure your cat gets the best care possible.

Yes we can pay your vet directly if they are happy to receive payment in this way. In most cases, your vet can submit an eclaim which is the fastest way to get the information to us. This means you won't be out of pocket and they'll even submit the claim on your behalf.

If you check with your vet and they can’t submit an eclaim, please use our online form to submit your claim. You can still select whether we should pay your vet or reimburse the policyholder if you have already made payment.

As early as possible! Pets can get ill or injured at any time so it’s important to make sure you have cover in place to help you cover the cost of any veterinary treatment needed. Policies do not usually cover pre-existing conditions so if your pet already has a skin condition when you insure them you would need to continue to pay for treating this. If however you had insured them with Petplan before they developed a skin condition this would have been covered.
Yes we do. You can read our Customer Stories from existing dog, cat and rabbit policyholders. We also have Customer Reviews which are collected by Trustpilot.
Our caring for pets goes beyond providing dog insurance, cat insurance and rabbit insurance. As 'the pet people' we are passionate about animal welfare and the principle of responsible pet ownership. We support many charities and have set up Petplan Charitable Trust, which has so far raised over £8 million towards a better, healthier world for animals.
