Hiya Everyone

I brought a yellow Labrador pup recently and I am looking into getting some Pet Insurance. I've had a few quotes on line varying from £5 to £20 a month. Some of the higher priced quotes include taking pets abroad, rehoming if I'm in hospital etc, which I don't need. I am after an insurance who will pay out if my dog is injured or ill and needs vet care.

I've never dealt with Pet Insurance before so I want something good, but I don't want something I'm not going to use (ie. taking Rosie abroad).

Can anyone reccommend a got insurer and have you ever had to deal with claiming on Pet insurance? Most of them are asking an excess of £65 which seems fair.

You still refuse to answer the question though. Speaks volumes. And as the RSPCA no longer accept animals for rehoming I do wonder about your statement.

My last pet cat came from my local [DLMURL="http://www.rspca-middlesex.org.uk/pet-adoption/"]RSPCA[/DLMURL] this year, and as you can see from the link they are actively looking for homes for pets.

Or perhaps you've had the same cat for 30 years?

We had a cat who lived to 20, which by anyone's rekoning is a good old age for a moggy. For the latter part of his life he suffered from epilepsy, for which he took medication every day. He was one of the few cats that actually enjoyed going to the vets. He would always walk staight onto the scales to be weighed.

Obviously you don't have sufficient regard for your pets to make sure they would be cared for should expensive treatment become necessary, so there's no point continuing this. I just hope that no animal in your 'care' ever needs serious veterinary treatment.

You've obviously know as much about my pet care as you do the RSPCA :cool:. My cats have regular check ups at the vets, prevention is always better than cure ;). I have no issue with vets, only those who do unecessary diagnostics to feed the insurance industry.

Have a look around these forums and you'll find pictures of many of my cats, even the one playing scrabble :eek:.

RSPCA? The people who won't condemn fox hunting because their rich patrons will withdraw their monetary support?

Try this

Looks like a caring charity to me. But then, perhaps that's why they let you have their animals - they just don't care what happens to them so long as they don't have the problem.
