Hi there
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced good pet insurance please for Maisy aged 16 months?  :)

Having done a trawl on the internet and speaking to others I found Marks&Spencers the best cover and very reasonably priced.
After a recent incident when Wallace needed emergency tratment they dealt with the whole thing directly with my vet.

I can vouch for M&S too.

They are very well priced and I have taken Daisy to the vets numerous times and they have always paid out immediately without a quibble.

Oh yes, definitely M&S!  I never even knew they did pet insurance until very recently when I have been looking and comparing to find the best, most reasonably priced insurance for my Siamese!  Their level of cover measured more than favourably!
My Cocker is currently with Direct Line, but I think I will switch to M&S as it seems so good.  :D

Sainsbury's are good - just watch when you are comparing them if they pay out a maximum price per condition for the life of that condition not just for the first year of the condition and then they can stop.

Another M&S supporter here!

I haven't had to claim yet but I went with them because of teh recommendations on this forum.  I live in teh south east so the premium is a little higher than £10.65, but not much.

Further to my earlier post today, I can now confirm that I have taken the M&S insurance for my Cocker as well as my Siamese - vet fees cover does include lifetime cover for ongoing conditions (with the usual exceptions of course) and it came out at £9.10 per month which was even taking the no excess option!  fabulous!  :D

I too have M&S pet insurance, very reasonable and they provide much more cover than others.
