Insurance recommendations
- Thread starter Azucena

Looking to insure Humphrey and Rose. Who do you recommend?
There are lots of threads about this and people have different opinions. I'm with PetPlan.
Pet plan are generally the best and are normally recommended by vets
I just went through the 'get a quote' link on the main page of their website. I presumed from that that there must be only one type of plan? Eeep!

Both Pets at Home and Pet Plan only do 'for life' cover. (Pets at Home used to do annual cover but don't offer that option now).
The main difference between the two is P@H cover is up to £1500 compared to PP at £2000. With P@H you pay 10% of the bill after paying the excess; with PP you only pay the excess.
P@H are much cheaper but bear the above figures in mind. However the premiums increase with the age of the pet and in our case Esme, aged 6 now costs £185 a year to insure with Pet Plan (excess of £100), Dinky aged 7 costs £90 with P@H (excess of £75 + 10%).

Pets at Home do cover dental "for injury or illness" up to £350 as long as they have had a dental check up in the last 12 months.
My rabbits only have dental check once a year (with vaccination)... 6 are insured with PP. *touches wood none have dental issues*

Sadly, yes.
Rudy had a dental shortly after I adopted him, age one, six years ago. He's had no dental problems since but Pet Plan have not only excluded him for dental but also anything to do with eyes and facial abscesses!
Oh that's rubbish. :lol:

If your rabbit has a pre-existing dental condition you could look at helpucover. They don't cover dentals at all but you'd be excluded anyway. My quotes have always been significantly lower with them.
I pay £6 a month for Mack and got £25 cashback with quidco for taking out the policy.
