yes,

From personal experience, not E&L.

As recommended by vet, not Tesco

but Sainsbury (with presently)* is recommended.

M&S was cheapest,i have two Neapolitan Mastiffs and they cost £12 a month to insure that's half the price of others mentioned(and less the the stonage of one of them), i have claimed once already this year and they paid out no problem and are about to get hit again, but thats what insurance is for.

We went to Tesco because they were one of the only companies prepared to insure an older dog. (Think he was 8 at the time).

Unfortunately there are a number of exclusions including any dentistry unless it is required because of an accident.

We only claimed once and they certainly paid up without any problems.

Petplan, not cheap, but in 15yrs have never quibbled a claim , including one for nearly 6k

Our vets recommended Petplan and they're not linked to them whatsoever!
