Our little dog is with Paws and they were brilliant. He was involved in hit and run 18 months ago on News Year Eve and had to spend 2 weeks at the Royal Vet College which included intensive care, operations to pin and plate his pelvis and femur, x ray, scans etc and it all came to £8500 as he rebroke his plate so he had to be reoperated on. PAWS payed £6000 towards it (max vet fees) and it was all paid promptly.

Wise choice....those beasties can cost a fortune...mine has just had a lump removed fro his leg...it would have cost over £400

....I think I paid £7...cos I work at the vets

lol.....I have heard that Marks and Spencer are good and was suprised when someone told me it cost them a meer £14 a month to insure their Doberman...BARGAIN

Blimey that is good, I pay nearly that for my JR with NFU. I only went with NFU as my friend has had several claims with them, and all settled quickly.

Hello stranger....u got yourself a life now then...left me alone and desperate

yep...it is good...re the insurance...esp as a large breed with notoriously bad health problems

Petplan platinum all the way! They have coughed up over £15,000 no questions asked for us so far. Cannot fault them.

I'd second petplan as they paid out promptly for our JRT when it had lung and heart problems. ANd the cover lasts for life and isn't excluded after a year like some insurance companies do.

Direct line our Flatcoat was diagnosed with cushings disease on average it costs £120 a month to keep him alive. They'll never make a bean from us but they have been true to their word and coughed up
