PDSA as my new pet insurance…

I joined PDSA as my new pet insurance company because I found them to be very good in all that they advertised and they look like a good insurance company to be with. Hopefully I won't need their services but I feel that I am covered better and for a more reasonable price should I need to use their services with regards to my pet's health.

Great policy at a reasonable price

It was really easy to switch policies to PDSA. The insurance policy offered has great cover for a reasonable price. The only negative I have is that dogs that aren't microchiped aren't covered if they're lost. Everything else is perfect.

Beware of the term 'lifetime insurance'…

Beware of the term 'lifetime insurance' with PDSA pet Insurance. Our dog started limping, the vet prescribed pain relief as she was unable to find a cause for the dog's discomfort. We were told to return if things did not improve and did so three days later when the dog's paw had become swollen. This was successfully treated with antibiotics. As the two vet visits happened to be either side of the policy renewal date we had to pay the excess on both of the vet's bills as the claims were classed as Year 2 and 3 so treated separately I have been informed.
In reply to the PDSA Pet Insurance standard response, I have already discussed my disappointment with their Complaints Department without a positive outcome.

Claim for veterinary services following dog injury

The claim was processed by our veterinary practice and was dealt with very quickly and efficiently by PDSA who acknowledged receipt of our claim straight away.
We received notification from PDSA within days of the claim being made that it had been agreed and paid.

Dog insurance.

Decided to take out a dog pet insurance policy and received the welcome pack. However, I found even showing a small concern and not an illness, relating to my dog can affect any future claims.
I cancelled, after a telephone conversation with the company. Sorry, but I was not impressed.

My poor dog unfortunately injured himself and needed xrays and a hip replacement. This insurance company paid immediately and without hassle. I am so grateful for them making this stressful time easier. I would recommend them to everyone.
