Blimey that is expensive I've got Jock covered, he's 8yrs old and he costs £8 per month so shop around  ;)

(ooops better say not sure how much discount that is with as OH works for the Ins company, but it can't be that much)

There are a few but the best bet it to call and ask personally exactly what they do and do not cover  :blink:

William is insured with the Kennel Club and thats nearly £350 which I thought was a lot considering my horse was only £20 a year more. I didn't shop around but carried on with the 6 weeks free insurance I had in my puppy pack.  Do be careful with the cheaper insurance companies, they don't always pay out as readily as the established insurers.

I used the first 6 weeks free insurance and then changed

I think that is very expensive  :o  My two are with M&S which offers better cover - zero excess and £7000 per illness per year for life and I pay less than £25 per month for both of them.

One thing I had to take into consideration is what it would cost to replace a dog (not that you can ever replace a dog that you love ) but Belle would cost me around £2000 to replace with a dog of her breeding and standard of training. When I was asked the cost to replace, I had to produce a receipt of purchase for her, just another thing to keep in mind.  :blink:

remember also that the premium varies wildly in relation to your location - our m&s cover for jarv (which we are so relieved we have) here in wiltshire increased to £210.74 in 2006, which is expensive, but is very good cover....

I have to say Barney is with P Plan on the supreme cover. We have always been with them and have never had any problems with them paying out. I'm really happy with them. We used to hava a rabbit who's treatment came to almost £400 after he got an illness and P Plan payed out with no questions.

Healthy pets has gone up for Lucy - we now pay £6.08 per month, up from £5.65, Lucy is 15 months and has had 2 claims she is covered for £5000 per condition with no time limits.

I have heard that Halifax are quite reasonable

Weve got the same cover for Nell (Lab) we must have claimed over £600 since Nell was dignosed with hypothyroidism last year, she has to have blood tests every few months and is on medication for life, and they've always payed out within three weeks.
