Is It Worth Having Pet Insuranece ?im Thinking Of It

I Only Have Two Rabbits
Im Thinkinking Of Getting Pet Insurance Out But Dont Know If It Will Be Worth It?
 
I say yes whatever the animal, dog,cat or rabbit. My cats came with 6 weeks from a rescue centre with pet plan and I decided to renew it. Good job as less than a year later one of them was hit by a car and need £1700 worth of treatment! I pay £9 ish per cat and its about the same for a rabbit. I would recommend pet plan as they were very quick dealing with my claim
 
I think so...Jen isnt insured & shes making damn sure we eat nothing but beans for the next year :roll:
 
Guess it depends on your vet and how much your excess is going to be.

Excess for us would be £70 per bun but most vet trips only come about £35.

Pet plan won't cover some teeth conditions, neutering or vaccinations :roll:
 
I PAY £20 BEFORE3 BELLE SEES THE VET. THATS FOR CONSULTAION IT COST ME £35.00 TODAY JUST FOR 1 INJECTION FOR MITES. AND SHE HAS TO HAVE ANOTHER 3 :shock: EVERY WEEK

The excess is £70 full stop though isnt it, Not every vet trip. Sure most bunnies need enough trips to get the benefit :?

Nope, each time you visit, or it is for us anyway :roll:

Not worth it for me personally or the sanctuary residents :roll: Reckon rescues should get discounts :lol:

If you had Jen taken in as an emergency in the middle of the night and it cost you £120 you'd be able to claim back £50

I think it depends on the excess (it can be really high as others have said). I've not had a rabbit before but with my dog the monthly payments went up with her age, it became extortionate. Personally I haven't taken out insurance with my two rabbits, instead I have a savings account for their (future) vet fees which I contribute to each month. If you take this option also make sure you also have access to a large-ish sum for any emergency care. x
 
Hi:wave:

I've always insured my buns, the premiums go up after they turn 5 with Petplan.
In the past I've had bills around £200 - £300, that would have wiped out anything I'd saved in one go.

Vet bills are so expensive.
 
Both my cats and the dog are insured with pet plan, but after reading the small print I decided not to insure the buns. Instead they have a fund, and if that fails theres always my credit card:D
 
Every time i have to take either Honey or Harley its come just under £50 Harley cost me £48 there excess is £50:roll:
I keep it as it is peace of mind for me, If anything should happen i know that i would ony have to pay there excess.
 
we have lola insured with Pet Plan, i didnt think £80 for a giant conti for the year was 2 bad.and the excess is £40.its just peace of mind really. i'd be happy if we never had to use it:D
