But then Petplan charge so much they don't need to put their premiums up
I don't pay that much, about £22 a month I think

I started off with Freya on Petplan and it was £28 a month
I couldn't afford to stick with them so i've recently moved to AXA for £9.04 a month
The policy is practically identical so I will be adding my little man onto that too

don't be surprised if at the end of your first year your renewal will sky rocket in price - there's no such thing as a cheap insurance policy (for more than a year anyway!). AXA used to underwrite (not sure if they still do) M&S and it was them who bought in the 'male dogs fight more therefore claim more' idea so don't be surprised if they charge a lot more for your dog when he's adult than your bitch.
Claimed on M&S with Jarvis, premium went up 20p a month at renewal so not related in my opinion - just an annual increase.
