I regard ManyPets as the best value pet insurance, having experienced several others. The claim was so easy and payment was in my account actually before the vets had taken it out.
Excellent service. Supplied required documentation from vet money paid into my account within 2 days. No quibble or fuss. Would highly recommend these guys. Very satisfied customer. Many thanks
Easy as 1 - 2 - 3. Very easy to get a quote and straight forward to set up. Quick and efficient. Excellent cover. Great value for money.
Absolutely no problems at all. They dealt directly with orthopaedic vets. We had to do nothing. Refreshingly brilliant service. Huge thanks to ManyPets!
