Hi

Is anyone with this insurer, or had any experience with them?

Thanks!

Hi

No, was just reading up about them, considering putting our 8 year old cat with them. Healthy pets is charging us way too much right now, they wanted in the region of £46 per month for him, plus £75 excess including 20% of the final bill. The only existing condition he has had has been when he fell and hurt one of his legs, health wise, he's been fine.

Is that the average for an 8 year old cat?

We don't accept direct payment from Pet Protect or any D&G policy as they seem to take random amounts off the payments. Not allowed to comment more than that

that seems a hell of a lot of money!!!!
try kwik-fit (they were super with our cat) or shop around for a few more.
let us know what other prices come back

Kwik Fit is an AXA based policy - always look to see who the underwriter is

We thought so too. Both our other cats who are with tesco and only 6 months younger are half the price. I'm actually trying to find one that might have dental cover, but I know that's hard to find. Right now we've downgraded him to the bronze package on healthy pets, but the excess charges are still the same, and for £24 a month we're only getting £1000 vets cover. And i know that won't go a long way.

Has anyone used Animal Friends?
