the other 2,cat/dog are on a joint insurance with direct line,ive never had to use it tho



can i ask does anyone knows why spaying/castrating/neutering
are n't covered,ive been told its cosmetic i.e not necessary

I think it's because it's classed as a routine procedure as opposed to non-routine. Same reason as boosters & worming aren't covered.

boosters were covered at my old vets

Insure, insure, insure!!!!

We had Miw insured when she first came to us 5 years ago......we have thankfully never had to claim on that insurance.

When Mousie came to us 2 years ago, we decided to insure her as well.........thank goodness we did!!!!! Since she became ill last year we have run up vet bills of more than £4,000!!! We have managed to claim back all except £65 (the excess fee per year) of that money, and had no difficulty with renewing her insurance when it came up in September despite the fact that the insurance company knows Mousie has a life-long illness. They continue to pay the claims promptly and without question or difficulty.

Insure! Hope that you never need make a claim on the insurance.....but give yourself the peace of mind to know that IF your cat was to become ill, you would have the monetary means to get the treatment it may need!

Tina

PS We are insured with PetPlan.....and have NO complaints!

That is who I use too and have never had a problem despite the numerous different claims. In addition my vet is happy to deal with them directly and I don't have to pay up front and then claim back myself. Some companies/vets won't work like that.

I'd go with insurance too. For a relatively small layout each month you get a lot of peace of mind.

That is great news , fingers crossed you won`t ever need to use it though but at least its in place if you ever need to Xxx.

Good to hear that! I've never had to use mine, thank goodness, but the peace of mind is well worth the premium IMO.

Tina and Mousie are perhaps the best advertisement for insurance (and for PetPlan) that I can think of. I think I will be renewing Kizzy's policy when the four weeks is up.
