I would never recommend this company
I would never recommend this company. They take too long paying out claims. They have poor customer care and staff who sound as though they are doing you a favour when they speak to you. Not a good company- cant think of anything positive. If you want value for money and a good professional insurance company you cant beat Bought By Many.
Very expensive

Been with you a year and never claimed then when the policy has renewed gone up rather than down - would have thought a better deal could have been done with an existing customer

I have been with petguard for a few years and I feel safe to know both my little girls have coverage just in case.
Great help
Great help, easy to deal with. These people give you time , explain everything. No pressure, very personable.
Renewal price has doubled
Renewal price has doubled, although I haven’t claimed in the past 12 months. I was hesitant to move as I have been with PetGuard since my pup was 8 weeks old and therefore would worry that other companies may try to put any claim under an existing condition. Felt like I had no choice to renew even at double the price. Called them to discuss, they had zero empathy said there was nothing they could do and basically told me to either renew at the reviewed price or cancel my policy

Renewal Ease
Renewal was easy but slightly uncomfortable at the way way above inflation increase in premium. This cannot continue year on year.

East to arrange cover hope they prove as reliable if needed in the future.
