Cat Insurance
Hi
I'm looking for suggestions for pet insurance for our cat. He is a 15 year old cat in good health except for some bouts of asthma which the vets have checked, but he is not taking any medication. He is also chipped and neutered. Argos have quoted a renewal premium of £464 with £65 vets policy excess & £100 accidental damage excess. Most quotes we've had are about the same or more. If they are cheaper the excess is a lot higher (£150.00+) and/or a percentage contribution to any claims (usually 15%). Obviously we are looking for a cheaper premium, without paying a percentage contribution towards any claim. I realise policy excess would have to be higher, but would prefer it to be no higher than £100.00. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

Whenever anyone asks for pet insurance I always go Animal Friends
I've got 2 cats insured with them, reasonable price and good claims service. The main reason I went with them is they are an ethical company and 100% of their profits go to animal charities around the world. |

I'd be really surprised considering his age if you got any better quotes than you've already received, I'm actually surprised that you've had anyone prepared to quote you at all!

I've never insured any of my dogs. The vets bills over the last 40 years have been far less than the insurance premiums.
You could work a payment plan with your vet. Just pay them a premium every month to cover any bills. |

Many thanks for your replies, however it seems staying with Argos is the best deal.
