Title: Insurance
Post by: Em - Oscar's mum on June 02, 2005, 01:02:43 PM
Help! :blink:
When I first got Oscar (nearly three weeks ago now), I was given 6 weeks free insurance with him. Now that I have realised that this runs out by the end of the month, I need to make alternative arrangements BUT everytime I speak to different people about who to insure him with I get mixed reactions. I think I know who I want to use but thought that I would ask for advice first as to who everybody thinks is best.
Thanks for your help.

we use pet plan, they are a bit more expensive, but we get a multi pet discount (we have 2 dogs and a cat) and we have found them to be very good.
we currently have two claims waiting for Annie and they have been very efficient with them so far.
Molly has ongoing medication, which we have to just pay the excess on each year, but including the payments and excess we pay alot less than if we did not have insurance. Alot of insurance companies will only pay for a condition for 12 months and not for life.
I have heard that M&S is good, but have no experience myself.
hth :)

I faced a similar situation and after much research I think that the M&S policy appears extremely good. As I've just got Pebbles I've had no reason to make a claim which will obviously be the real test, but on face value it looks very impressive - especially as for a very small premium you can waive any excess
