Good insurer and a worthwhile cause

The PDSA insure hub is straightforward and easy to use. Claim processed and paid quickly. Compared to other insurers, I find it reasonably priced for the level of cover and I like that my money is being used to fund treatment for animals that might not otherwise be treated.

How can I comment on a product I haven't used. Insanity

I can't really comment - because I haven't used the product. It's insurance in case my pet becomes ill. I'm getting heartly fed up with the amount of unimportant emails that I keep receiving with regards to this product. hence the 3 stars.

I was very impressed with how easy it…

I was very impressed with how easy it was to register my cat and very sad that older cats are not accepted which is not clear until trying to register. I entered all the information about my cat including the two visits to the vet which needed no treatment. Then my documents arrived, the policy documents and another request for the information I has already given, name and contact details of vet and so on, saying once they had contacted the vet I woukd hear whether my cat had been accepted. So why I got the insurance documents ? Very irritating to be asked for the same information twice. I chose this insurance because of the charitable status and work of the PDSA but was sorely tempted to cancel because of the inefficiency worrying about this being a sign of administrative incompetence. I have not heard whether my cat has been accepted or not and unless I am reassured soon I will be going elsewhere
