Who does "for life" cover...

..apart from petplan?

I would rather have for life rather than per condition.. but was wondering who did that kind of cover apart from petplan?

If you contact a specialist pet insurance broker such as:

http://www.vip4u.co.uk

they will be able to give you first hand professional advice.

A few good companys are
AXA
M&S
Sainsburys
Animal friends (they do various levels of cover but i'd only insure a dog with them from a puppy as they can quibble about previous illnesses)

Those would be the top ones i'd recommend for life cover.

I was having a look at sainsburys and it says "per condition" but is up at 7500... is that the same as the way tesco do it but with a higher limit?

Unless they have 2 levels of cover now then no it's 7500 per condition per year for life.

There is 2 levels, it says...

"Option 2 £7,500 per condition.

Option 1 £3,000 per condition. Each
condition is only covered for the
12 months immediately following
the first date of treatment."

(edited to space it out more)

Just had a quick look on their website there is a possibility it is per condition now and they have stopped their life policys. I don't have time to read it fully but i think i'm right in which case forget Sainsburys.

Thanks

Petplan do 4000 for vets fees each year, tesco do up to 4000 per condition, so this is 7500 per condition as well - so it is like tesco but more?

Am I get lost somewhere in the middle?

ETA: just read your last post, okay thanks
