Written by the company
Lifetime Pet Cover began in 2014, inspired by a personal experience when a cherished family pet became seriously ill, and the existing insurance didn’t provide the support that was needed.

We believe in keeping things simple and focused on quality which is why we offer only Lifetime policies, designed to provide lasting protection, with five levels of cover to suit your needs. As a team of dedicated pet lovers, we’re committed to providing reliable service and insurance you can truly count on. Our goal is simple - to be here when you need us, protect your pet and give you peace of mind.

Easy to update Pet cover details
I have ongoing pet insurance for my dog through this company and unfortunately he's recently put on weight (puts him in the 20kg+). I sent an email on the Monday & on Wednesday morning got an email with the updated pet insurance certificate with no increase in premiums (which set my mind at peace). Quick & reliable service

Very good online service with excellent cover for my pet. I found the prices very competitive, cheaper by £73 than my renewal with better cover.

Hi Jay, thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that signing up was easy and straightforward with no issues. Thank you for choosing us to protect your pet.
Initial concerns but great experience once sorted.
Having initially completed my quote online I had to contact by telephone as there was not confirmation of purchase except for a direct debit mandate. On contacting by telephone I was told the policy had not been set up which was concerning as if I hadn't contacted then I would have been left uninsured.
I have given a 5 star review because of the way I was dealt with during the call, the person who discussed everything with me explained fully, including what is, and is not, included, costs, dates of direct debit etc, and was polite and knowledgeable throughout.

Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your experience and bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about the issue you experienced when setting up your policy online and we understand why this would have been concerning. It does sound like an error occurred during the application process and we apologise for the confusion caused by receiving a direct debit mandate without confirmation of the policy being set up. We’re glad you contacted us so our team could identify the issue and ensure everything was arranged correctly. We really appreciate your patience while this was resolved and thank you for the kind feedback about our team, we really appreciate it.

Excellent customer service
Unable to complete cover on line. The customer service answered promptly, went through all the cover, different options and explained everything. Better cover and less expensive than previous insurer I had for past 5 years.
Very helpful and knowledgeable and nice to speak to a real person. I wasn’t rushed or pressured into purchasing so overall a very positive experience

Totally and utterly inept
Totally and utterly inept. Despite trying to update information it’s always incorrect. Then when you try and claim they will do their best to pay as little as possible. Still getting emails from them over the renewal of insurance on a pet that died over a year ago. Simply lost for words how inept and incompetent a company can be.

French Bulldog owners - dont bother!
the company offers french bulldog owners a competitive price. You would think that as your paying 5x the rate of other dogs that the risks of having a french bulldog are priced in. But they are not, they claim they do not cover congenital issues as they are pre existing. Nearly every french bulldog problems is congenita.. they do not class these issues as charicteristic traits even though they all have them. basically just scamming you as they have a get out clause in the small print. Its just normal DOG insurance that you pay 5x more as its a french bulldog but will not cover french bulldog problems.
