    Zara was originally with M&S but moved her to Argos as M&S jumped 80% after a year - with no claims at all at the time.

    I guess London prices are higher anyway but the difference can be astronomical.

    My daughter;s 2 cats insured with PetPlan were £10.00 each while in Cumbria but went up to £22.00 each at renewal in London. Which makes me wonder as they are going back to Cumbria before the end of the year - will the insurance go back down? Hmmmm Doubt it somehow

    Trouble is, when there have been claims on the insurance to the extent Zara has had, I think insurers hope you WILL stop the policy because it's costing them too much.

    They charge high premiums so that you might say you can no longer afford it. I think it's essential though because you will always be able to get the best possible treatment for your dog when they need it.

    Olivers first renewal is here and as I guessed (PetPlan) its gone up by pennies.
    Also as I have always said we claimed big time for our Teeg through PP and it only ever went up by a few £s on renewal.

    Like everyone we always hope we never have to use it, but, its a safety net for us isnt it.

    Anyway as I havnt posted a recent pic of Oliver I thought you might like seeing just how he has grown.
