SWITCHING-MYTHS

Sit. Stay. Let’s bust them.

You may be hesitant to switch your pet insurance due to common barriers that are true of other providers. But at ManyPets, we do things differently.

Switching cover shouldn’t feel like a trick – with us, it’s a treat.

"I'll lose my cover if I switch"

Not with ManyPets. You don't lose your cover - you just gain better value*

"I'll have to wait before I can claim"

Nope! If you’ve been with your current insurer for 12 months or more, there’s no waiting period when you switch to us.

“Past conditions won’t be covered if I switch”

Actually, they can be. If your pet's condition ended more than two years before your policy starts, we’ll cover it as a new condition if it crops up again.

What if my pet has had a condition in the last 2 years?

We've designed a dedicated Standard Care Pre-Existing plan, which covers your pet's condition if it hasn't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months before your policy starts.

Always check the policy handbook and IPID before you purchase.

Our pre-existing condition cover options

OPTION ONE

Choose our Pre-existing cover for a benefit of up to £1,500 as part of a £7,000 vet fee limit to cover conditions that haven't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for three months before your policy starts. Terms apply.

OPTION TWO

Pick one of our standard pet insurance plans for conditions that haven't had signs, symptoms, treatment, medication or advice for more than two years before your policy starts. You'll get up to the vet fee limit you've chosen. Terms apply.

“Excellent service”

I have had to claim recently and the service received was incredibly efficient and hassle free. Vet invoice paid directly and no quibbling with extra medication costs. A great pet insurance provider.

What you could get (that your insurer probably can't offer)

Not all pet insurance is the same. See our handbooks for cover terms. For MoneyBack T&Cs, read our page.

One excess per year, not per condition

Unlike many others, with us you'll just pay your excess once per year, regardless of how many times you claim*

One of the highest vet fee covers around

We actually walk the walk: choose up to £20k vet fee cover, with insurance features your pet will love.

No waiting period unlike some other insurers

We don't have a 14-day waiting period if you directly switch to us from another insurer you've been with for over 12 continuous months

You control your plan

We don't charge you extra for paying monthly. Does your current insurer do the same?

Not all insurers have behavioural cover

Our Complete Care plan covers behavioural treatment up to the vet fee limit if needed due to an accident or injury when referred by your vet.

Complementary treatments

You get cover within your vet fee limit between £500 and £3,000 when your vet recommends complementary therapy for your pet. Excess and co-payment apply.

Perks worth up to £500*

Instant access to pet health discounts, including 2 months free flea, tick and worming treatment, and up to 30% off pet food.

Change your pet's life in just three steps

How to switch pet insurance to us.

1. Get a quote

First of all, you'll need to get a quote and see if our cover is right for your pet. This is very quick online and takes around 10 minutes on the phone.

2. Cancel your existing policy

You'll need to tell your insurer if you want to cancel mid-policy. Some may require you to cancel your Direct Debit, pay any remaining premium and charge you a cancellation fee.

3. Start your new plan

Remember: You don't have a 14-day waiting period if you directly switch to us from another insurer you've been with for over 12 continuous months

Switching pet insurance questions, answered

Everything else you may want to know about switching pet insurance to ManyPets.

Can I switch pet insurance providers mid-policy?

Yes, you can. But typically you’ll need to pay a fee for this, and sometimes you’ll need to pay any remaining premiums too. 

It’s worth speaking to your existing insurer when you cancel.

What should I consider before switching pet insurance?

Generally, make sure the pet insurance you and your pet are switching to is right for you. We don’t want to see you end up with something that doesn’t work for your circumstances.

We’d recommend looking out for things like: 

  • What’s covered 

  • Cost of pet insurance

  • Benefits and features, like 24/7 vet advice 

  • Waiting period, which is how long your pet won’t be covered between policies 

  • Exclusions, like behavioural treatment 

  • Additional fees

How do I cancel my old pet insurance when I switch?

A lot of this depends on your current insurer. Most will need the policyholder to contact them.

Most are through the phone, but others, like us, will allow you to cancel online. Others will let you cancel over email. 

You must let your current insurer know.

Do I have to cancel my existing pet insurance before switching?

Yes, you must contact your current insurer to cancel after you get a quote.
