                    I am about to re-home a 12 year old Staffie. I want to get some Pet Insurance for him. Can anyone point me to the best 'Life' policy please? I have been told that a life policy would cover anything he develops while I have him so is best as it wont be excluded from the following years policy.

            We went through the RSPCA for our pet insurance. Our dog is 11 and we pay £11.40 per month HTH.0

            Avoid E&L at all costs! They usually find a way not to pay; ask any vet.
Be very careful (ask before paying, not like me) with any co if your dog does not have a full medical history that you can produce in the event of any claim, no matter how unrelated.0 - 
            Try Marks & Spencer they I am told don't have any excess and I think their charges are pretty much the same as the other company's but the saving on the excess has got to be a good thing0

            I have E&L and never had a problem with them, a vet will onlly recommend their own policy as they get paid commission, I don't think legally they are allowed to comment on what insurance policy you should have I know my vet was very cautious, I had E&L when I purchased my dog and had to claim two days before it ran out I did think they would not pay but to be honest I had the cheque a week later so I continuted with them.
Have a look on money supermarket.com I am sure they do a search on pet insurance may be wrong0
