Im with Tesco.
Just called them earlier. They will cover £450 to advertise to find him and a £50 reward, with no excess. I pay around £75 ish for the year.
My daughter has just gone round the street with a A4 photo, as a lot of people in our street are at work all day, hopefully as they return they might know something.

We went for a life plan with Pet Plan for C.J.
Hubby is quite careful when it comes to parting with his cash but the breeders recommended Pet Plan. They had several reasons but the one that clinched it for us was that if C.J. gets an illness she will be covered if she needs tablets etc for life rather than just the initial diagnosis.
We actually pay £19 per month which isn't in everyone's affordable price range but after eight months we have already had to claim as C.J. caught a nasty bug in the local woods and the consultation + xray (to see if she had anything stuck inside her) + tablets all came to £67.
C.J. is a working Cocker Spaniel so she's lively and in to everything. There's obviously plenty of opportunity for accidents to happen from something small like getting a thorn in her paw to something unthinkable. I'm not sure if we'd have got such an extensive policy if she'd been a snuggly stay at home dog but as it is it's probably the best idea for us.

Mine are insured with Loyds TSB ...we were with Pet Plan to start with but too many people were telling me that they are notoriously reluctant to pay out and I thought if I ever need to call on the insurance I wont need a battle at that time
Really? That suprises me in fact I've always heard the opposite with Pet Plan?

Petplan every time
My dog had a spinal injury and was paralysed (for 6 months) - the bills were nearly £5,000 in the first year alone (long story)
This included (prescribed) hydrotherapy and physio.
Apparently, Petplan is only one of a handful that cover this (according to our treatment centre, who have to deal with the tears and despair when a claim is rejected)
They also mentioned that many popular plans (especially the supermarket ones) almost never cover this stuff - it is buried in the small print...............

We've gone with Petplan as well - when we looked about, most insurers make a one off or limited term payment for conditions. Our Petplan plan continues to pay out as long as we re-insure each year. Given that, a little more monthly expense (an not THAT much more) gives peace of mind.

Just to throw in my 2ps worth - Petplan also !
My dog has never needed to use his but my friends dog broke his paw and the treatment came to almost £1,000. She pays the first £65 of each bill so in the end paid exactly that ! Fill in the form you get from them online and then give it to your vet. Like that - you don't foot the bill in the meantime and the vet claims direct.
