can i claim on insurance?


i rang up the insurance company last week to find out if we could claim back taos purchase price. the guy on the phone said we 'should' be able to and would send me a claim form.

this is the 6 weeks free insurance i got with tao and is with petplan. does anyone know if we can claim so soon after getting him and within the 6 weeks insurance? also, does anyone have any experience with them refunding purchase price money?

No experience of claiming back purchase price but I have got experience of Petpaln and they were excellent I claimed from them with my previous Staff Gypsy they paid up no bother.

The Petplan six weeks free puppy plan covers death so I would imagine the kitten one does too..

MMMMMM difficult one - When I lost Zak to the road - he wasn't insured for that - But Sebestian has the top plan so I would be able to claim back - But being so young and with 6 weeks free from the breeder - you never know - Sorry but how did you loose your little fella - please forgive me for asking

there is no chance of them getting harmed as my garden is cat fenced - so they are safe at all times -

Apart from me when I chasing them round for a cuddle

Your 6 weeks free insurance should cover the purchase price of your kitten *as long as the kitten was registered with Petplan before you enquired about the claim*... does that make sense?

Is the breeder being helpful?

Jenny, I would check that you don't have to prove cause of death before (or with) claiming. Other than that, do you have a policy document you can check? Most policies will pay out on death unless you're only covered by a very basic one which the 6-week kitten one might be . . . hope that helps a little.

Jenny I work with Pet Plan with the dogs. We give 6 weeks free insurance. The first week is invalid for health issues but death should be covered. I honestly think you should get compensation from the breeder as well.
