Hi
The insurance for my three girls is due next month so i thought i would do an online check with Petplan as last year i insured with Petpals at a cost of £21.50 each per dog per month making a total of £775.00 for the year ,the girls ages are Poppy 2 yrs 2 months ,Daisy 1 yr 7 months and Rosie 1 yr 2 months and after careful reading last year it seems that its only either of theses companies that offer a true lifetime cover that our beloved Cavs need .So upon enquiring i have been quoted as follows Petpals renew £22.50 each per month total £810.00 (no claims so far) for the year and Petplan £30.55 each per Cav per month £ 1100.00 for the year ,so it seems that Petplan prices have considerably increased since last year when they were similar , is this a knock on effect of the T V programme. Does anybody know of any other companies that offer a true life cover with a similar high level of benefit that these companies offer as for me now that i am more aware of what the future may hold ins is a must as our Cavs have to fully taken care of in sickness and in health so if i may have dithered over the cost it is now a definite necessity ,good job i dont smoke or drink anymore. Oh and one has a £75 excess and the other £80 and i think Ive been to the vets 6 or 7 over the last 12 months for one thing or another all thank goodness for minor problems but each visit ranges from £35 to £70 so thats a total of £400 on top and of course each visit is under the excess figure amount and thats excluding annual booster injections so are the insurance companies going to further penalize our dogs with larger excess and higher annual premiums.
