Claiming was very easy but I actually getting hold of my documents not too straightforward. It may just be me but when I googled the PDSA website it don't give you a pet insurance log in and so had to go looking for the corect website. Always being short of time I like to just google a site and find what I need!

Shocking business conduct

Shocking business conduct. I took out 2 policies with PDSA Pet Insurance for my two dogs as they are a Charity. I made a claim a few weeks back but was told they had no response from the vets. The PDSA Vets themselves say they contacted them back but they (PDSA Pet Insurance) said they could find no claim!! Yet PDSA Pet Insurance emailed me to say they had tried 3 times to get a report from the PDSA Vets, but didn't get any response. Blaming each other. Currently trying to get through to them on the phone with no response either. Nobody seems to work there. I've tried my best to help this Charity, but it turns out to be at my dog's detriment.

Hi There, at PDSA Pet Insurance, there are, unfortunately, some breeds of dogs under various categories which we do not cover. A complete list of dog breeds excluded from PDSA cover can be found here: https://www.pdsa.org.uk/pet-help-and-advice/pdsa-pet-insurance/insuring-your-dog? under the FAQ section.

I was previously with pdsa for 18 months. My beautiful 18 month old Akita became very poorly due to what was found to be, after considerable testing a very rare, very serious defect from birth. Pdsa were absolutely brilliant. They took care of the bills for his consultations, extensive testing and medication (including an mri scan with a neurology consultant at a Vetinary hospital) with no hesitation or questioning, and left us to concentrate on him. Unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to save him and we lost him shortly after the results came through. Pdsa made sure everything was paid, cancelled our policy immediately so no more direct debits would be charged at that very difficult time and sent us a lovely deepest sympathy card. Although this was a heartbreaking situation for us I can honestly say pdsa went above and beyond to take the stress and strain of the financial worries away from us. We have recently brought another pup into our family and I had absolutely no hesitation in signing straight up with pdsa again for his insurance. Thankyou pdsa x
