im also with petplan, and thats bout what i pay (little bit less a month but my excess is £60).
i think they are a good company, took less than 2 weeks to pay my emergency (well shaunys) we almost lost him. the vet made the claim for us which came to £460ish. we paid the £60 and the rest they paid. and hes covered for life on the same claim if its an on going problem

yes yes, I'd like him to have the company I think, I hate the thought of him being lonely at night when we're asleep and sometimes he's alone when I have naps in the day. I know I spend enough time with him but I know it would be nice for him to have a pretty lady to cuddle up to!

I know what you mean, i miss having bnded bunnys, thats why i cannot wait to get moo sorted.
bailey comes everywherein the house with me and nick and doesn't crave rabbit attention but moo does x
when i spoke to them initially, they will cover it as long as its not routine dental work or pre-exising.
for example, baileys front teeth are routing and his molars are pre-exisiting i believe.
Im weighing this up tho and have taken the plunge as when lilly required her treatment it was money i had to put on my card and i took a couple of months to pay it off. The excess i can cope with x
Petplan will cover for teeth. When I had insurance I spoke to them about it and they said they judge each case individually. But they won't cover for anything that pre-existing.
Petplan DO NOT cover for dental treatment. The only way they will cover dentals is if your vet is willing to put the problem down as being something else...i.e blocked tear ducts hence a dental is needed...etc etc. If it is just the usual routine burring of molars and spurs then that is not covered. They are very good at wording their policy to make it sound like they will cover it.
If you are on good terms with your vet you may be able to get around it.

they lied to me on the phone then which would contravene and mean that they would be breaking the law.
I would be inclined to believe them, and if i have any problems then i could go to thier ombudsman.
When I first rang Petplan up they also told me they cover dentals based on each indiviual case but would not guarantee that they would. From my own experience and my rescue's experience they do not pay out for routine dentals. In their policy they word it as 'we will not cover the cost of trimming rabbits teeth'...to me that implies the incisors, but they can also claim it is with regards to the back teeth. The rescue's vet has to put down that there is a different problem resulting from a teeth problem which can only be resolved by a dental....
So basically you have to have a rabbit suffer before they will pay for a dental. I have three rabbits have regular dentals and burring done, they have had no related complications i.e abscesses, tear duct problems etc but Petplan will not pay for their dentals.
If you were told otherwise over the phone you would have to have a recording of the conversation in order to back up what you say. Otherwise it's just your word against theirs. Insurance companies are very crafty
I spoke to Petplan about this. They said if a vet deems the treatment necessary then they will cover it.
Ok. I have three bunnies who need to have dentals. I have their dentals done as soon as needed i.e when they have spurs etc because if I leave it until they begin to have problems then that means potentially I am making it an even bigger problem i.e abscesses developing etc. I only have dentals done because I was told by my vet they needed to be done. I take them every 6 weeks to be checked and the vet decided if it is needed depending on spurs and the teeth growth. (one of my rabbit has needed to have molars removed because he has a very poor jaw bone).
My rabbits have all been insured with petplan as long as I have had them, had their teeth checked every six months prior to developing problems and petplan STILL won't pay out for them. I'm just giving my own experiences as well as others who have had to try and claim for dentals, i'm not lying about it.
