Based on our specific needs. Dogs go into work with my DH and we might spend time on a long term basis in Europe we went for a company called JBI. Reasonable premium, discount for more than one dog and very prompt to pay out. They also cover most European countries we might go to.

I had originally got petplan as part of the puppy pack that came with her but when I wanted to continue they stipulated an exclusion for her going to work with DH as they said a dog outside its home was unstable!!!

I had my old Golden retriever insured with Sainsbury's. I chose them as they were one of the few who would take him on at age 10 (after the previous company stopped doing pet insurance). I was very happy with the cover and even my vets were impressed with the cover compared with others they dealt with. I still have the young dog covered with them too but haven't had to claim yet.

edit to add: we have never travelled abroad with the dogs so I can't comment on whether Sainsbury cover that.

hi there,

we have two labs, they are great, they have been with petplan for years now.
we have found them to be very very good, i know you hear bad reports but we can say we have nothing to say but good things about PetPlan.
i would say you give them a try?

okay,

ade.

We would suggest Petplan.
Had our westy with them for 5 years now. Always paid promptly without any debate.
They also paid out last year when we returned from France and Molly (the westy) had Babesiosis ( most probably caused by her being bitten by a tick carrying the parasite )
The cost was considerable, £1200 including a stay in the hospital for small
animals at Potters Bar.
Hope this helps

You could try M&S or NFU. I don't use either but they have been recommended to me. Our lab is 15 so we couldn't really change insurance companies now.

I have Tizzie insured with Sainsburys after being reccomended by a friend seems reasonable although not had to claim yet

i too have heard m&s are good and will not put up the premium as pet gets older.
