I have been looking for pet insurance for a few months but found most of them were too expensive. Someone suggested PDSA insurance. I got a quote and checked for direct payment to the vet if anything should happen, and they do pay direct. Got great cover for a reasonable price. Worth giving them a try.

The socks maniac

The user manual for our beautiful golden retriever puppy didn't say to keep him away from socks. The little tyke, aged 3 months, decided a pair of my regular socks was much tastier than his food and swallowed them. We first had to rush him to our regular vet for the initial investigations and once cause for suspicion he did have a large, solid, foreign object had been confirmed we had an endoscopy done immediately at a larger vet hospital. The financial damage was significant! Both claims were raised by the vets to PDSA and to their credit, both were immediately passed without any issues.

As good as Petplan

Have just taken out pet insurance for my Cockerpoo puppy the process was really easy and I’m very pleased with the cover I am getting
Have previously been with Petplan with my other dog but found the PDSA were giving the same type of cover I wanted for a much better price
So overall very pleased

Good insurer and a worthwhile cause

The PDSA insure hub is straightforward and easy to use. Claim processed and paid quickly. Compared to other insurers, I find it reasonably priced for the level of cover and I like that my money is being used to fund treatment for animals that might not otherwise be treated.
