Hi folks, can someone help me get good reasonable priced pet insurance! im with argos pet insurance...but after 3 yr the premium is just getting too high! have a springer! many thanks for any help folks
Pet Insurance help?
Animal Friends do mine - £13 a month for 2 cats.
One of them is asthmatic and we have to claim 6 times a year as a continuing condition for her (the inhaler only lasts 60 days), they have only put her policy up by £1 a month since she was diagnosed and treatment started.

My sister uses Tesco and has had to make claims for two dogs in the last few years (one for a broken leg that needed an operation and one for on going medication and vets visits), and she's never had any problems with them.

I was with Animal Friends with my last cat as I liked their ethical stance, but when he had to be hospitalised at the out-of-hours emergency vet over the weekend during his last illness, they said the charges were excessive and would not cover the full amount (although it was within policy limits). I have heard that other people have had problems with them, but it sounds as though they are fine for your case.
I am intrigued, though: how does a cat use an inhaler?
PS: I am with PetPlan for my present cat - not the cheapest, admittedly (I just checked my bank statement and it's £13 a month just for the one cat!).
I use petpals which is £5.40p/m for my kitten i went through topcashback compare though so got £12.50 cashback too. Might be worth checking it out.
thanks very much for the replys folks! ive went from £8 to £16 with argos pet insurance in 2 yr for my spaniel....so thinking of jumping ship to someone else! but heard horror stories with the cheaper pet insurers ...not paying up etc!

With great difficulty! LoL
It's exactly the same as a child's spacer, a plastic cylinder with a rubber bit on one end to go over nose/mouth and a hole in the other end where the inhaler goes (exactly the same inhaler as me or you would use).
Little cat (Boo) sits next to me, 1 arm round her (or else she would do a runner!) Inhaler in other hand - hold it over her mouth, press inhaler to inject the drugs into the chamber and after 5 breaths she's off - once in the morning and again in the evening.
It's called an Aerokat, there are videos on YouTube of it in action.
