Sally contacted me this week after she felt her pet insurance company unfairly imposed an exclusion on her policy. Was it really unfair and if so, what could Sally do? If you too have queries or questions, just ask the pet insurance expert.

I feel I have had an exclusion put on my insurance unfairly as I merely asked if the item would be covered, but made no claim before or after (vet had suggested an allergy test). Can I get this lifted? >> Read more

I received a question from Susie regarding the recent increase of the excess on her Petplan policy. Remember, if you need help, just click here and fill in the form.

Cavalier KC Spaniel – 10years old, usually healthy, well-behaved, trained etc.

I see from my renewal information that Petplan have changed my excess from £95 to £105 + 20% – they have also increased my premiums to £35.

I have only claimed 3 times in 10 years.

Is this a standard increase or do you think are they penalising me for a recent claim? My dog caught Parvo 2 months after his booster this summer.

Thanks, Susie

Are you looking for the best pet insurance cover in the UK? Well, there’s no such thing as a single best policy because it all depends on your circumstances, what you’re looking for and your budget. However, in terms of cover and how comprehensive it can be, then Marks and Spencer is probably one of your best choice. Here’s why.

Lifelong/lifetime cover: ongoing conditions covered and no exclusions once you start claiming

Marks & Spencer is one of the best lifetime pet insurance providers. This is best demonstrated in the quality of their cover, starting with their lifelong type of policy:

• Lifelong cover only: with lifelong cover, you will get up to £6,000 in vet fees each and every year. Unlike per condition or time limited policies, there is no limit on the time or amount you can claim on a condition. Your vet fees yearly allowance of £7,000 is reset every year so you always have money available to treat your pet.
