Joined Kennel Club insurance as I had a free trial when I bought my puppy and, stupidly, thought the Kennel Club name would guarantee some standard of service. The price doubled within a year. I was told as I'd made a claim I was tied into another year at the inflated price. The customer service was shocking. Just don't think the name stands for anything. I felt this company would steal my teeth and come back for the gums. Consider yourself warned!

Had my renewal quote for one of my dogs today, the premium has increased by 31.5%. I rang them to query why it was SO much and was told it was because of insurance premium tax. When I said that the afore said tax is only 9.5% I was told it was also because of vets fees increasing (22%????? I don't think so!) again I queried this and was told it was also because my dogs are old.......they're 4 & 3! Then it was because of breed and gender specific illnesses. I told her that I was appalled at the increase and that I was cancelling my policies, she said that if I ring up in say a months time I'd get a really good deal as they like to encourage new custom! What a shame they aren't as loyal as the dogs they insure! Avoid them at all costs!!!!!!
Did you have a claim in that period of insurance? If you did it is standard practice for all insurers to require the full annual premium. It's the same kind of principle as having a phone contract, if you want to cancel the contract then you are required to pay off the rest of it as you are paying for the handset as well.
had a similar experience with k c insurance myself would never reccomend them or trust there 5 weeks free insurance again
the only way to bring insurance companies to their greedy senses is to boycott them. Im putting my premiums into a savings account for them now. and not bothering with insurance.
I bet you were give an introductory offer when you started your first year, people always forget this then complain when their premiums are higher next year.
