stealthy1 3,964 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Try Go Compare Stubby, some good quotes on there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Mines with Direct Line Stubby, they had an offer on, 12months for the price of 10.....! It was cheap enough and 'looks' pretty comprehensive. Thankfully, ain't had the need to use it yet but if we ever do that'll be the 'proof of the pudding'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 My Stafford is with Direct Line too, judging from the vets reaction when we mentioned who we are with, they are reputable. They were easy to deal with when we needed them last year, ( near 3 grand bill in the end). Just trying to think of a good reason my Lurcher wasn't with them too .................. £818 bill last week! Ouch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alastair Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 check the policy on budget cover because some only pay cost for illness,medication for a year,others are life,some dont cover callout fees,pts,burial,and if they say they give you the value of the dog if pts then they ask for reciept of were u bought it.them insurance companies will wriggle out paying if they can.also if your dogs had treatment in the past you must disclose it and that illness may not be covered on new policy.and they will want more premium if its got past history.

stubby 175 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 cheers all, on the web as I type this, looking for the best deals on 3 dogs, just bought perry back from the vets, heres the plastic he ate, and his battle scar, not as bad as I expected, total cost £830, but would have been better with insurance of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Glad to hear he's home. Almost exactly what happened to my Stafford last year, had a chunk of small intestine removed ............... that cost Direct Line £3000 ish ............. funny how the vet always asks if the dog is insured though eh?

maty j 6 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Just done mine with M&S. Think It's about 8-9 quid a month for my mixed breed and that gives me up to 7.5K vet bills cover IIRC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
