Title: Pet Insurance
Post by: Shazzie on April 11, 2006, 10:28:48 PM

Hi All

I read some very interesting posts yesterday as regards to Pet Insurance.  The feeling I got from all the replies was the M&S was very good and competitive.  I have been with Tesco's for the last 3 years but were looking to see if I could get a better deal now I have another cocker.  I was really impressed when I contacted M&S to see that they could offer me insurance for both of the dogs with no excess and continuious cover (which to be honest I didn't realise I did not have with Tesco) for £11.19 the first dog and £10.20 the second.

Brilliant, thanks for the info on this hope this post helps some others get a better deal!! :D :D :D

Im looking at getting the M&S insurance for my puppy when we bring him home.

Do you know if the M&S insurance covers for lifetime illnesses? I gather from previous posts that Tesco, Direct Line etc do not offer this kind of protection.

Thanks

Yes, M&S are lifetime cover. My 3 are registered with them and I can't fault them. Tesco only offer a 12 month policy but i think Direct Line have now introduced lifetime cover but not sure how their package will compare to M&S ;)

I moved from Direct Line lifetime cover policy after the first year - they changed the terms and conditions on renewal - they no longer covered things like pre-op blood tests  :-\; M & S were by far superior (covering dental work, behaviour etc) - and they worked out cheaper than Direct Line, too  ;)
