What is the best dog insurance to have these days.
My older dog has always been with petplan.
I now have an 11 week old puppy & she will cost more per month than my 7 year old.
The puppy currently has 6 free weeks with the kennel club,the premiums will be a lot less than petplan.
Please bear in mind any long trem problems that may arise.
The supermarket ones are cheap but dont work out long term if problems do arise.

I got 6 weeks free insurance from the Kennel Club and after shopping around I have stayed with them,it is a little more expensive than some of the others but I think it offers more.

You answer your own question really. Do you want a policy that will provide long term care for your dog or do you want one that is cheap?
If you go through an insurance broker with an AUL agency you might be offered a policy £6K a year for life, claims made on a per year - the excess at 15% can be a bit high for large claims but the cost is about half od petplan's best policy.

I switched to Tesco from Petplan as they wanted £13 a month for my labrador cross and Tesco do it for about £8. Not sure exactly what it covers as not had to claim yet but don't have the need to use kennels as always have a family member available to take care of him while we are away. Best to shop around really.

Like all insurance, it's a gamble. Mine is with More>than and is nearly £20 a month for my Golden Retriever. Last year he had thyroid cancer and had to have all sorts of tests, a big operation and chemotherapy. Came to nearly £5000 so I'm really glad that his cover is £7000 per illness or condition. I have to pay 15% but it will continue to cover his check-ups until that limit is reached, and will cover him for any other conditions in the future. Also, their customer service is wonderful. Thankfully, so far he's clear and it looks like we caught it in time.

A friend of mine puts £10 a month into an account in case of any mishaps and to date has built up over £300.Might not be a good idea once the dog gets older.

I use Tesco too after many years with Kennel Clubs own. Tesco was recommended, quietly, by my vet nurse.
