Pet insurance - claim or not?
Doggy had a minor op recently. Total bill £700. If we put an insurance claim in there is a 20% deduction due to age (8 years) plus the excess so would only get around £500 back. Not sure whether to claim and risk the future premium increases clawing back the £500 in no time at all. Or just suck it up and not bother…
