You would probably be best to compare what PetPlan offers compared with Pets at Home. There are lots of threads on here about insurance.
 
Neither of my rabbits are insured as they are too old to have a new policy taken out. I've worked out that the cheapest insurance would have cost me is £260.90 in the 4.5 years I've had Roly and he's only ever had one GA to have his tear ducts flushed which was less than the excess.

Honey has never had any problems aside from a recurrant gut problem which all insurance companies would refuse to pay out for anyway.

I'm lucky in that I have a good relationship with my vet who is very honest and is happy for me to buy supplies of meds for Honey to treat her gut problems at home. Since we started doing this we've not required any vet treatment for it due to catching it very early and treating it. The cost of the meds would also be less than the excess for insurance.

If they need treatment for anything else then I can afford to pay it thankfully.
 
I sorted out the insurance for my two a couple of days ago, paid the full year in advance, because Bf was paying half so we could afford to do it right now, rather than thinking about a DD every month. We went with Petplan, because we heard lots of good things about them.
 
Insurance is a hard one - you never know if you are going to need it. Its only now that my rabbit needs tests and I wish I'd had it!!
 
For sure!!! Both mine have been insured since 8wks old...now Jay over 4yrs old!!

I wouldn't be without it!!!Harley cost £900.00 plus last year wheen ill and so far I've spent £1000 odd pounds on both, not including swindons bill of £775!!!

Petplan are a god send!!!!
