Great cover at a good price and helps the PDSA

Decided to use PSDA after my previous dog became ill and had to be put to sleep and I couldn't afford it at the time, being self employed in the pandemic. They were just wonderful.
Got our new family member and needed pet insurance it was a no brainer for us.
Also for the level of cover and no 20% of the rest of the claim which a lot of other insurance companies wanted at the time, Worked out really competativly

Speed of payment following claim…

My cat recently required an urgent operation and when I contacted customer services, the representative I spoke to dealt with my enquiry sympathetically and professionally. Once my claim was submitted by my vet I received payment within 5 working days. Excellent service from this insurance provider.

I would recommend PDSA pet insurance

PDSA took a long time processing my claim. Our cat is a rescue & we didn't have any medical history so they had to contact the rescue centre to check her previous history. I had to chase them in the end but they paid in full minus the excess so I'm happy.
