Absolutely do not recommend this company, slow to respond, 5 months to settle claim despite phoning many times and sending emails, this led to us being hassled by vet for payment! 2 lots of excess charged as claim went into a new year! Renewal came through and went from £248.00 to £431.55 a 74% increase! for a claim of £1223.39, we are now looking into changing difficulty being she now has an existing condition. I've filed a complaint and will be contacting the insurance ombudsman, this can't be fair on pet owners, you only need to read previous reviews!
Good company.
Got what I needed
Well I took this insurance for my dog
Well I took this insurance for my dog. Was concerned a bit because some of the reviews at first but I gave it a go. So I was covered for first year - no claims all good. Renewal came and the price went few quid down! Happy with it 😊. Unfortunately something happened and my dog got sick. I spent around £500. I made a claim. Got all my money back minus excess fee (150). Seems fair and according to the contract. I will see how this will affect renewal price and I will update you guys. Hope it is not going to go significantly up… 🤞🏻
Easy to set up and understand
Easy to set up and understand. Not needed to contact you yet and no disrespect hope not to need you for some time.
Increased premium 21%!!
Increased premium 21%!!. Too high compared to the market. No willingness to reduce at all to try and keep customers. Went elsewhere and got better coverage for less. Shop around.
A long time to wait .…
I feel I had to wait a long time to have a claim I made paid out ,3 months was the waiting time .
Renewal
Our renewal payment didn’t go through as the card has expired, the renewal was still processed and we were given plenty of notice to make the payment to ensure the policy wasn’t cancelled. The phone call to make the payment was very quick and straightforward and the call handle very pleasant and friendly.

It took nearly a year to settle a claim and a lot of understanding from my vet due to the length of time

The best.
We are with PetGuard from 4 years. They have been brilliant when our dog had to go through some surgeries. No problem with payment, helpful and kind staff. Thank you very much for doing lovely job x
Huge increase on the DD this year
Huge increase on the DD this year! Contacted the company very unhelpful. Also very slow response paying back after submitting a claim up to ;4 months.
They did pay out for removal of one of dogs teeth but it took ages and caused us financial problems.
Easy to use and good communication
