Completely Useless!!!!

Try anything to avoid paying out for a claim!!! Take over 2 months to months to process the claim then don't even bother telling you the result. Had to chase for an answer. Asking me to repeat info…
  • Recieved a response over 5 days after their claim was submitted
  • Claim wasn't successful
  • Was neither happy or unhappy with their experience when they spoke to someone

Let Down

My puppy is 8 weeks old but because she was born on the 25th May they refused to insure her until the 25th July?? Really disappointed as other pet insurers don't have a problem with it...

Frequently asked Questions

FAQ Icon

LV= offer two pet insurance policies; Time-Limited and Lifetime. Their Time-Limited policy covers an illness or condition for a maximum of 12 months from the date of the first treatment up to the limit you choose. This type of cover is most suited to short-term illnesses and injuries. Their Lifetime policy covers your pet for illnesses or conditions that occur during the policy year, up until the policy limit you choose. The policy limit is then refreshed and applied again when you renew your policy, so you have peace of mind that your pet is always covered, provided you remain insured with LV=.

Yes. If you insure more than one pet with them, you'll get a 5% discount.

No. LV= will continue to insure your pets no matter their age. However, their ‘death from illness’ cover will stop when your cat reaches 11 years old and your dog reaches 9 years old.
