I rescued my dalmatian at 11 months old and got him insured with AFI (Animal Friends Insurance) he was on the top policy and first quoted £26 pcm for lifetime cover great, fast forward two years and my dog starts having urinary problems - common in dalmatians anyway animal friends pay out most of the time (few odd things they argued and was stupid but overall okay) but his renewal nearly doubled every year to the point where at 6 years old AFI wanted £217 pcm so I dropped from lifetime cover to lower level of cover and even that was £99 pcm for just £1000 per condition so in the end we cancelled it as it wasnt worth it, we appealed their decision for increased costs and they base it on his breed, age and area you live in but apparently NOT claim history- I find this hard to believe we didnt even claim anywhere near his policy amounts per year at most £2000. I would not touch this company with a barge pole, they are rude and ruthless and certainly do not care about the pets it's all about the money with them! Now I have an account for my dalmatian where I pay what I would be paying to AFI but I would be much happier if I was insured. I am very angry with AFI.
