Picking up my kitten tomorrow (Pics included) Insurance?

[ihncwid]

Hello, I'm picking up my British Blue tomorrow, He is insured for a month with petplan, I'm wondering if I should stay with them? which do you use or would you recommend?

Maybe have a look at Bought by Many

Petplan are good as long as you maintain cover

How adorable 💕. Yes personally I would stay with PetPlan. I've had three cats and a dog insured with them and found them to be reasonably priced and fair on claims.

I stayed with Petplan after receiving the 4 weeks free cover from the breeder. They paid out £3600 in the first year. Only thing is, they don't cover special food, even if recommended by the vet. And I'm pretty sure there's restrictions on dental too.

I found Petplan expensive compared to BBM and BBM offered better cover for less.

He’s so gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

So gorgeous!! Enjoy the lovely kitten time!

Tesco have been fab with my Persians.

He is gorgeous. Do you mind telling us what his name is going to be?

Oooh he’s so handsome

I'm not sure yet, I'm terrible at thinking up names!

Thanks everyone, Think I will stick with petplan

We've been with them for years and they are excellent

There was a poster here whose kids named their new kitten ‘Graeme’; because it was grey . . . That did make chuckle.

Just remember whoever you go with to choose the (more expensive) lifetime cover. That means if he has an accident or illness that needs long term or permanent treatment, the costs are still covered rather than ending at the end of that insurance year.

When you have to pay £40-50 a month on drugs for life, that is really worth the extra premium!

Oh, he's a cutie!

My friend has a blue boy, called Rocky.

Oh gosh he’s lovely!

I use John Lewis for insurance which is fine but I really just wanted to say what a little teddy bear he is

I have a British cream, insured with petplan who I’ve found to be ok.
You blue boy is gorgeous - let us know his name when you’ve chosen!

We have a 13 week old kitten and we went with Bought By Many. The cover for life is great, not a massive excess £95 a year no matter how many claims and the service just seems great. Haven't had to claim yet thank god, so can't comment on how quickly the reimburse claims.

I can't advise on insurance as I'm not in the UK but cat names are more fun than baby names.

Does he need an old-fashioned aristocratic name such as:

Percival/Percy
Reginald/Reggie
Montgomery/Monty
Arthur/Artie
Earl (Grey!)
Lancelot

Is he really just a local lad -
Dave
Albert
Freddie
Robbie
Mikey

Romantic names
Zephyr
Zeus
Grimalkin
Quartz
Smokey
Pushkin
Petruska
Severus
Gandalf
Greyson
Greystoke
Ghost

As a vet who processes lots of claims this is the most common company to refuse a claim, they also have so truly awful policies that pay out tiny portion of a claim. They are a company I always warn people against insuring with. My own pets are with BBM.

I had a really bad experience with bought my many and since then will only ever use Petplan. You get what you pay for!

Conversely I had a very good experience with BBM
