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!

Took the policy with assurance and incentive of bonus nectar points, failed miserably and when I phoned they denied I was due any. If they can’t be trusted to tell the truth about this then don’t trust them with insuring my dog,

They used to have Insurance Factory handling the claims, they were fine. They ditched them last year but didn’t mention that there would be a new email address and a new policy number. They just deny receiving emails and if you phone them up they seem to...

I've been with Animal Friends for years. I've never made a claim until my cat was diagnosed with arthritis, and I needed to pay over £100 a month for medication. I was asked for information on her history, as was my vet. We both gave that information. I...

They were great when underwritten by RSA. Now underwritten by Hastings Direct and are awful to deal with. Claims are almost impossible to make as no claim portal available. I have to claim by email and these are ignored until I telephone to complain...
