compassionate, straightforward and professional when we needed

Sadly, our last dog died while he was still only a puppy, leaving us heartbroken and facing some very large veterinary bills. Throughout such an upsetting time, Kennel Club Pet Insurance were absolutely excellent. They dealt with everything without fuss, hesitation or unnecessary questioning, which took a great deal of worry off our shoulders.

You never truly know how good an insurance company is until you need to make a serious claim. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kennel Club Pet Insurance. Their handling of our claim was compassionate, straightforward and professional when we needed their support the most.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review, particularly after what must have been an incredibly difficult experience.

We're so sorry for the loss of your puppy. Losing a much-loved dog is heartbreaking at any age, but to lose them so young is especially difficult.

At a time like this, the last thing we want is for the insurance process to add further worry. We're therefore incredibly pleased that our team was able to handle your claim with the compassion, sensitivity and straightforward approach you needed, allowing you to focus on what mattered most.

Your recommendation means a great deal to us, particularly because it comes from your experience of needing your policy at such a difficult time.

Thank you for trusting Royal Kennel Club Pet Insurance to support you when you needed us most.

Best wishes,

Liam
