GuestI have Cass insured with the National Farmers Union (NFU Mutual). I agonized a lot over who to go with but settled with them & they have been fantastic, i couldn’t have asked for more really. They charge £21 a month with a £50 excess and they pay out really quickly, good thing is that they will pay the vet direct so you don’t need to worry about big expensive bills. They pay up to £4000 per condition EVERY year, and that gets reset back to £4000 each year so you don’t need to worry about the funds drying up after an expensive year in vet fees. Public liability up to £2.5m as well.

GuestBlimey I just got a quote for Dexter from Tesco’s (just being nosey) £43.03 per month thats £6 more than M & S and for only £4,000 instead of £7,000 that I get now. I feel I have to go for the higher limit due the fact I live in Surrey, apart from London I think this is the second most expensive place to live in england, sure feels like it sometimes!

GuestI’ve probably put in a load of rubbish Jay, but I’ve done a quote with More Than for a Dobe in Surrey and for £7000 of cover, the premium has come up at under £25 per month. Might be worth a look at in the future. 🙂

Memberi dont insure as you all know…but after brose i was in OMG mode..which of course is what the insurers play on…i did calm down ;D
but
i got a quote for the wee git from tesco and it was 21 quid…average i guess…i did f that and then thought uhmmmm maybe i should so did it again 13 days later…14 quid…i was errmmm ok …bugger this on line crap i will call
so i did
and the woman said it depends on daily markets :suspious: i do my what? so you are saying that if i took first quote then that is my then set rate but….now daily markets save me £7 a month…even if they go ape tomorrow…she said yep and that applies to all insurers…but it works both ways because for us it could be…i hung up
all it did was re-affirm what i already knew…insurance is a rip off…and insurance makes vet bills higher than they should be
me is doing what i always do….and yep..i got contacts but…even if i didnt i would still do the put away each month…interest rates will improve and i have the good feeling i am not being ripped off…..

Memberi am starting to feel validated (?), but, i still think first year insurance is a good idea for the reasons rough said.

Memberyep…1st year no probs…as i said it easier for me

MemberI’m with NFU aswell. I pay £50 per month and that covers 2 Rottweilers and 1 Akita. Have £50 excess and like Mark they pay £4000 per condition, per year. In the 3 years that I have used NFU I have claimed around £3000 (my Rottie cost me nearly £2000 with his cruciate op and all his after care). They even paid out for my Akita being spayed (on vets advise) after only taking out NFU insurance 3 weeks before.

GuestSame here, they paid out more in the first year than i have paid in since i took out the policy. I would never in a million years have even thought to have dog insurance with the National Farmers Union but i am so happy that i found out about them. I just can’t fault them & always tell people about them.
