With a huge range of cat, dog and horse insurance policies on the market, it can be hard to pick the policy and provider that best fits your needs and budget.

We ask pet and horse owners who are customers of the UK’s leading insurance providers to share their experiences and help other owners like you, choose the best pet or horse insurance policy type and provider. 

Please read some of the thousands of pet insurance reviews from other owners and leave your own review if you are a customer, too. All the inside information on the service and support the insurance companies provide, and how easy or complex they make it to submit and get a claim paid, helps others make an informed choice. Your views can also encourage our insurance companies to offer the best possible service they can.

Once you’ve narrowed down your options click through our site links on your chosen insurer's page to get a quote and help us to help pets and equines in need through our charity donations

We need your review!

We want to give pet and horse owners lots of real customer reviews to read when deciding on the right policy for them and their animals so we need new reviews from you!

I have been with Sainsbury’s since my Labrador was a puppy. I’ve had two claims in this time, he is now 8. My policy renewal came and my premium has doubled to £143 a month so is unaffordable! I rang Sainsbury’s pet insurance and was told they don’t like...

We paid for insurance for 7 years for our larador. When we finally claimed for cancer we were advised that the type of cancer was not covered.

Our lovely dog was in trouble and ultimately needed to be put to sleep. Direct Line wouldn't pay for the dog to be uthenised - we wonder why we paid £90 per month only to find they had uthenasia as an exclusion in the small print. No other claims. The vet...

Very honest and straightforward So far no hidden fees and hidden clauses. They only rejected one small claim, but that one was on me, so don't blame the company. The team was very supportive and made sure it doesn't affect my overall coverage.

I've been a customer of Vetsure for 5+ years at the recommendation of my Vet. Our dog was attacked one evening resulting in her needing an operation and stitches. Because of the relationship between the practice and Vetsure, it was so simple - all we had...
