More than pet insurance

Does anyone have insurance with them?
We havent got insurance on our dogs, but were thinking of looking into it and after a couple of qoutes morethan seems good?
Would like to hear what anyone else thinks

I have Star insured with them. They pay out quickly our last claim was settled in two weeks. You also have to pay 10% of the claim as well as the excess. At the moment our policy is £40 a month for Star but from speaking to other More Than policy holders I can expect it to near enough double now she is 8 years

Both of ours are with them, they have had to pay out nearly every year for one or both of them and they have always been very good,yes the price has gone up but I think we are about even at the moment

Ours were insured from 12 weeks and the premium was about £10 now Darwin is 7 and it is due for renewal soon so lets see what it is ,think its just under £30 at the minute and Willows is £25. As i said though they have paid out for many things meningitis x 2,allergy tests,Hip xrays and possible replacement in future which is £3000+ and eye exams,and the emergency op and aftercare for the fish hook that got eaten which totalled £1670,so can't grumble, If you have no claims or illnesses and the renewal is to expensive you can shop around next year, but once you have an ongoing illness it's best to stay put.Within reason.

Iv just had a look, changed the DOBs etc and it workes out roughly tht it will creep up gradularly [ 80p, £1.10 etc etc] until about 5 or 6 years old then it will go up by about £2 a month.
Not too bad I suppose!
When you have 3 dogs its obviously gonna be more expensive but I will definatly be chatting to Oh about insuring them now.

Thanks for your help x

Think they offer a 10% discount for additional pets for the first year.
