How much do you pay for your pet insurance? I have been with PetPlan for years and have always been relatively happy with them in terms of monthly cost, year on year, they only increased the monthly cost by less than around 10%, some years only a couple of pounds.
Have made a few claims over the years and they have always paid withing days. However, just got my renewal doc and the cost has gone up by over 20% (£41.xx to £50.xx). Patch does has good covers as it is their most expensive plan (£12,000 per a claim year + a bunch of other stuff). I can still afford it, but it feels a bit like day light robbery now. Esp my own insurance cost less than this and they have always been happy to give a discount when I call and have a reasonable conversation with them.
I challenged PetPlan price hike last year and they said it's because of the local vet charges, for example, London vets costs more and so we have to pay more, I said, but I literally just moved out of London and that shut them up, they then very reluctantly gave me 10% discount.
Our PetPlan also leapt up last renewal approx 20% and £58/mth, but presumed this was because Elmo was 18 at his last renewal.
Have always tended to use them as
-you get 3mths cover when adopting from cats protection
-a friends whose a vet says they are one of the few who aren't dicks about claim
