hi i’m organizing my pets insurance i have 2 cats and a dog,the thing is i always buy the most expensive one but until today i never used it.So do i really need up to £6000 vet fees a year? or 2000 would be enough if a accident happened. the thing is it is almost half what i pay now if i reduce level of cover
i know vet fees for check ups and boosters,i just want to know about surgerys,x rays,and treatments
Prices are extortionate, keep up your pet insurance as you never know when you will need it. Shop around the net and compare prices. Some insurers give discount for more than one pet.

The prices vary depending on where you live.
I don’t think £2000 cover is enough (I think £6000 may onlt just be enough)
"Shiya, a 2 year old male Papillon fom Middlesex received nearly £6,000 worth of veterinary treatment for his fractured front legs.
Luke, a 1 year old Labrador Cross from North Humberside had a hip replacement costing over £5,000.
Harry, a 2 year old Lurcher cross from Hertfordshire received treatment for a fractured leg with costs so far at nearly £4,000
Tuck, a 2 year old Labrador Cross from Devon received treatment for a throat injury from a stick this cost the owner over £2,000.
Monster, a female domestic cat from South Humberside received treatment for a road traffic accident in the first month of having insurance, the cost of treatment came to over £1,000.
Flo, 3 year old female Border Collie from Liverpool needed treatment after running into a lamp post, costs of treatment came to £1151
Ceefa, a 4 year old domestic cat from London received extensive surgery on her leg after jumping into a glass coffee table, the treatment cost over £700
Jake, a 2 year old Stafordshire Bull terrier from Staffordshire had to have an operation after swallowing a stone, the surgery cost nearly £700"

if they need an op. it will cost a lot but boasters only cost £50. my cat broke her leg and had to have metal pins put in it so it costed about £300.

IF HIT BY CAR
op to repair broken hip, physio, meds, £4000
on going arthritis in joint for rest of life £????
The difference between the 2 insurances are probably the cost of a pint of beer and a packet of cigs per month. or change to cheaper dog food, we went from £22 per month to £8 per month.
