I have two cats, moggies, boys (brothers), both neutered, under 2 years old and in very good health. We adopted them from a rescue last autumn and I opted to buy/extend the insurance that they came with - the rescue has a partnership with Petplan so you get one month free. I searched and there was a lot of info and at the time I was struggling to figure out exactly what I’d want or need in a plan (I had a lot of other stuff to think about and was mainly keen to ensure they were covered!) so I played it safe and got a maximum coverage/lifetime cover plan for both.
Now we’re all settled, I’m thinking it’s worth possibly switching plan. I think my monthly cost is high (£48 for two cats!) and I see a lot of other coverage that it much cheaper. However, this is my first time getting let insurance and I’m not really sure what I need. I’m risk averse so I’m happy to get more expensive insurance (clearly!), so lifetime cover/maximum cover is my preference. However I don’t know what amounts for cover make sense or are reasonable, I know if they were ill or had an accident vets bills can be very high so I want to cover for that.
I also have no clue about pet insurance companies, there are a lot of names I don’t know.
Any tips or recommendations for average monthly insurance for a cat (especially for a maximum/lifetime coverage), insured amounts, insurance providers etc are very welcome!
