Petplan was founded in 1976 by Patsy Bloom and David Simpson when Patsy discovered for herself the high cost of veterinary care. She developed a totally new concept offering affordable private animal health insurance. Since then, Petplan has gone on to become the leader in the pet health insurance industry with a 45% market share and over 500,000 animals insured under our policies. We offer cover for dogs, cats and rabbits, and all policies carry the second-to-none Covered for Life guarantee. Petplan provides insurance for over 1 million pets and horses each year and pays out more
Petplan's success can be attributed to the caring approach we take with our customers and their pets, and our specialist knowledge as a provider of pet health insurance. We pride ourselves on processing claims quickly and fairly, and work closely with veterinary bodies such as BEVA, BSAVA and SPVS to ensure that the policies on offer provide the most comprehensive care available. In fact, 94% of vets recommend Petplan to pet owners.
Now backed by Allianz Cornhill Insurance plc, Petplan is part of a wider group which also offers insurance for horses, through Petplan Equine, and for home, motor and general needs. You can apply for Petplan insurance right here online, by calling us on 0800 107 0204, at most veterinary surgeries, off the shelf through the Pets At Home chain, or through major charities such as Dogs Trust, Blue Cross and Cats Protection.
