Pet Plan

Ok I just did an online quote to see how much it'd cost someone I know to insure their dog that's currently with E&L, the top cover is now £4,000. I'm sure it used to be unlimited? I tried with my cat too & she can only get £3,000! Then I put in a 2001 dob for her & still £4,000 tops. Has it changed? I'm sure it was unlimited!

    You need the best plan they do to get a for life policy. My cat costs me £14 a month for their supercat.
  • Yeah i'm sure the cover used to say £unlimited now it's £4,000 for their top policy, or that's what it shows online! £3k less than alot of other companies that aren't so good!

    I've got top dog with PP for Perry, costs me £30.00 a month and i definitely got unlimited did it all back in June/July.

    Expensive yes hope i never need to use them, but hopefully Perry is covered for the whatever's in this world
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    my policy for my almost 12.5yo cat (taken out in 1996) is £6k a year, renewable, for life - £19 a month.

    i tried to insure my new cat - a 14yo siamese - with Pet Plan but they would only offer me their very basic cover, which was £3k, not renewable - not at all good for an old cat! that's why i went to Axa, who offer £7k a year, renewable, for life - monthly premium £28. i was going to use Animal friends but their excess is 35% for an old cat :eek:
  • i have got the lowest level of halifax cover - £1000 but it only costs me just under £7 a month. I figure if Badger ever needs any treatment more expensive than that then I will raid the ISA, but £1000 should cover most eventualities.
    Halifax also do a higher lever but I dont know if thats 4K or 7K?

    FC - my vet could go through a £1000 just like *that* :)

    when my 'S' was sick and we were trying to determine what the problem was, it cost almost £3000 just to find out what was wrong (that included 8 days hospitalisation on fluids etc, a biopsy and an operation amongst other bits and bobs)
