Call to notify of pet goodbye

Unfortunately I had to call Kennel Club Pet Insurance today, to notify them we have said our final goodbyes to our dear dog. I was treated with care and compassion throughout the whole encounter and Charlotte was kind in her explanations of next steps etc. We have insured our 3 dogs over 28yrs with KC and they have been both efficient and the level of cover offered provides peace of mind that all health conditions are covered life long. We highly recommend KC pet insurance.

I'm so glad that we went with Kennel Club. Our dog Loki ate something foreign and had to be rushed to the emergency vets for scans/xrays and ultimately an operation to remove it. He stayed over night twice and different vets then was referred to a daytime vets and subsequently our normal vet from there. Kennel Club have dealt with eveything and given me details informaion about all the claims, excess, deposits etc. Even checking in on Loki's wellbeing.
