Time to move the insurance when it's up for renewal then.

Try explaining that your Labrador is a Gun Dog!!! 99% wont even quote!!!

I was paying £300 a year to the Kennel Club for the three Labradors Insurance, they had virtually doubled it to £600 by the time I said 'not any more'.

You can't even claim anything unless you pay the first £50, so it makes the Insurance virtually pointless as most vet bills are around £50 to £60.

I've just had to pay for eight weeks vet treatment for one of the dogs and I'm still saving money.

Total rip off.

we have a springer and a st bernard and both are with petplan, quite reasonable and have been good to us with insurance claims

my beddy x whippet is insured with adrian flux  :shock:

We have three Airedale Terriers.  No insurance.  We would have paid something like £3,000 over the last five years if we had had!  We pay when we need to visit the vets, which is almost never.

I hear you diggerdog.

We have a english springer spaniel with very good blood lines, she's in training as a gun dog and a breeding bitch in a few years time, I never get past the gun dog point!

Mind you, try insuring horses these days, I've also got a couple of horses, it would kill me to insure all the animals!

My little staff cost's me 9.80 a month to insure.I didn't think it was to bad.
