Hi
I've had my eldest male since he was a baby & he's 5 now... he's been insured with petplan from day 1. He suffered quite bad with gut stasis from his first birthday & had to be hospitalised twice before I started to recognise the symptoms & treat him myself. Not claimed for him for the last 2 years & his excess has ALWAYS been £55. Got my rescue lady a year ago & her excess was the same. She had a nasty abscess due to a bite from him while they were bonding which had to have lots of antibiotics followed by an operation to remove it when it became walled off. This is the only claim I've had for her.
Just got a new rescue bun over xmas & he's the standard £55. Renewal has just come through for my other 2 & not only has the monthly amount increased by approx. £6 per month Alfie's excess is now a staggering £90 & Peggy's is £75?!?
I rang to query & was told all excesses have gone up but Alfie's was higher & also the reason for the increase of £6 per month was due to Alfie now being 5 so therefore more prone to things!
I was gonna put the approx. £40 to one side per month & let it mount up but I couldn't sleep knowing they weren't covered (even though I'd sell a kidney if it meant treating 'em LOL!)
is it just me or have they got us over a barrel? I know I can't go elsewhere as they are both classed as having pre-existing conditions so alternate insurers would be through the roof if they even covered me at all. I'll continue to pay I know but doesn't mean I can't vent about it! :evil:
