Not a big shock that my monthly amount has gone up with our renewal but I think it's quite a jump
It's gone from £24.15 to £31.61....a couple of quid and I would have stuck with the policy but I think that is a bit too much of a jump
We are with Petplan and have the unlimited for life policy.....but luckily we haven't had to claim in this first year.....so thought it would have roughly stayed the same
The next level down was still too much so I am now on the hunt for a new policy......ho hum
It's like a minefield out there, and I am going to have a look through some recent threads but they change so often
Aaaaarrrrr.....I just wanted to easily renew my policy but of course it's never that easy is it
just a word of caution, please make sure there is no pre-existing conditions before you change, (iknow you said you havent claimed) i did this with zaks insurance, after i had consulted the vets about his first fit, changed ins company for same reason as yourself is thinking of, then 2 months later zak had his second fit, too late to claim as now its classed as a pre-existing condition, so we have to pay for all of zaks epilepsy treatment,
The only thing we have been to the vets for was an ear infection.....which she was given drops for
I've since bought thornit and she has been a lot better with that
I've just done 2 quotes
One with M&S and one with More than......they are both similar polcies, with upto £7,000 per year, per condition with cover for life.....and they are coming out at £14.39 and £11.99
Bit of a difference from £31.61......plus I can save the money that I'm not giving to the insurance company in a Bailey vet fund.....which I hope never to use
So.....do I take the risk?? I'm going to have a think, as the policy doesn't expire till the beginning of Oct so I have some time
Wow, i just had Twix's insurance renewed with directline and she is 13, it is costing £30.00 per month annd £80.00 excess, I am paying more for Jana, I am going to look at switching Jana to direct line and putting Macy on too. I currently have Jana with petplan too and pay around £35.00 per month
The only thing we have been to the vets for was an ear infection.....which she was given drops for
I would imagine that would mean that any future ear problems would not be covered if you changed policy - I guess it's a decision to weigh up whether it's worth moving?
I have policies with Petplan and M&S. I am not sure about M&S since AXA stopped underwriting their policies - it's worth looking at AXA directly as mentioned.
I had a policy with E&L until they upped the price to nearly £20 for one dog so now I am with a new company and only paying £10.47 with all the same benefits I do think you need to look around
we shopped around , and looked into lots of policies, and took loads of advice from earlier threads , and decided on AXA, we currently pay £19.01 a month, but this is our first year with them.
