Sign up was straightforward yesterday. I find you don't know how good it is until you try to make a claim! £20 per month cheaper than previous insurer, cover looks the same.

Very disappointing pet “hamper” incentive

I bought this pet insurance for my puppy and found it easy to set up. I have not needed to make a claim so far, so I cannot comment on the claims process. However, I bought the insurance partly on the basis that I would receive a pet hamper worth £35. When this finally arrived, it was a huge disappointment. The “hamper” was actually a gift bag which contained a grand total of one 100g bag of dog treats, plus a tennis ball, a very basic toy made of canvas, a small packet of pet wipes, and a broken biscuit. Most definitely not worth £35, in my opinion.
