Guardian Pet Insurance

Very, very difficult to deal with their customer service. My vet had to email my pet's history 4 seperate times over three weeks until they finally received it. I would call customer service to see if they had received any emails from my vet and they would tell me that there was nothing coming through. Then after three weeks all of the sudden my claims were being processed after my vet had called and re-sent the email while on the phone to customer service. Although they were very hard to deal with, they covered my pup for ingesting foreign obj...Read more

Keep away, I have made two claims, both were rejected.
The first claim was rejected as a preexisting condition, specifically before the cover was taken out my dog was possibly bitten by an ant on its front paw, when the cover was taken out later we visited the vet for a rash on my dogs back, possibly in accordance with my vets advise a chemical rash from the dogs shampoo.

They ran a barrage of tests and after they proved negative asked me to ring my insurance company to check if they could run some blood tests. I called and gave my policy number etc and was told yes I was c...Read more

I really cant comment on the policy as we never needed to claim (thank goodness). I just had problem after problem with these guys. Nobody seems to know what they are doing.
I was quoted one price, whilst applying for the policy online and by the time my first bill came it was considerably higher then the original quote.
After multiple phone calls and emails I was then advised that unfortunately I would need to pay the higher amount. Silly really as when you sign up for something, in my opinion the quoted price should always be what you are...Read more
