Pet (particularly dog) Insurance

[CoolC]

I presume this has come up many times, but I did go back quite a few pages without seeing a thread.

Anyway. I'm in the process of getting quotes to insure our new dog and wondered what are the things to especially look out for on the policies.

So far I only have quotes from Pet Plan and Protect Your Bubble, and both give what on the face of it look like very similar cover for similar price.

approx £260 per year gives the top level from PYB and one down for the top level from PP.

Any recommendations for others to get quotes from? and I suppose any horror stories of companies to stay away from?

TIA

They both cover similar amounts. I can't see any age limits, something to look at in the details of the policies.

Protect Your Bubble

^^ Good advise, thanks ^^

I'll take a look in more detail at what is and isn't covered after a claim etc.

As ever, it's one of those things you don't want to ever have the need to use, but need to make sure it's right when/if you do.

I've actually written a pet insurance comparison site (link can be found from the site in my profile), and you could also check out my blog as I've just written a buying guide for pet insurance - hopefully that might be of some use

Will do. I'll be bored in a hotel tomorrow night so that will give me something to read

As an update to this. I went with Pet Plan in the end.

Simply because this is who our vets deal with and recommended. Going through the bumph, both policies were pretty much like for like for the same price so as my vet can, and have dealt with Pet Plan it seemed like the sensible direction to go.
