Lifetime Pet Cover began in 2014, inspired by a personal experience when a cherished family pet became seriously ill, and the existing insurance didn’t provide the support that was needed. That experience sparked a commitment to create pet insurance that puts pets and their owners first. We believe in keeping things simple and focused on quality which is why we offer only Lifetime policies, designed to provide lasting protection, with five levels of cover to suit your needs. As a team of dedicated pet lovers, we’re committed to providing reliable service and insurance you can truly count on. Our goal is simple - to be here when you need us, protect your pet and give you peace of mind.

If you actually read the substance of the reviews below, you will see that Lifetime are great at giving quotes and setting up accounts, but if you try to make a claim they will put up every possible barrier to paying out.
Our rescue dog needed a tissue sample taking from a concerning lump. This was not a particularly expensive procedure, but we claimed nonetheless - that's why we are insured right? The process of making a claim is complex and time consuming, much more so than any other insurer I've used in any context. Over the next month they asked for various other documents, including a microchip certificate (I'd provided the number and full medical history at the point of claiming). They looked for any inconsistencies in our information, and tried to find any excuse to refuse us cover (including referencing his nervous behaviour when we first visited the vet 4 years ago as a young rescue dog).
The whole process took over a month, and progress only occurred when I phoned them up and chased it. It is clear that they were looking for any way to deter claims in the first place (by making the process needlessly complicated and stressful) and then they were looking for any excuse to refuse payment (by nitpicking irrelevant historical details over the course of a month in his medical history, implying that certain niche paperwork was necessary for the claim and just delaying the whole process to a ridiculous extent).
I wish I had read the substance of the reviews below before signing up with Lifetime, as I will be cancelling my renewal and advising any other pet owners to avoid them. Making a claim has never been as stressful as this was - avoid them and save yourself the stress.

Antwoord van Lifetime Pet Cover
Hi Joe, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful it must have been for you while making a claim.
At Lifetime Pet Cover, our goal is always to support pet owners throughout the claims process, though the specific procedures are managed by our claims handler.
While we know this doesn’t change your experience, we do receive positive feedback on our claims process. However, every pet and situation is unique, and we’re truly sorry that yours was so disappointing.
While we do require certain documentation and checks to ensure claims are accurate and valid, we appreciate that this can feel complex and time-consuming, especially when you’ve already provided a lot of information. We also understand that historical information about a pet can feel irrelevant or unnecessary, but our claims process is designed to confirm coverage and ensure that policies are applied fairly for all customers. That said, we’re very sorry that you felt this added unnecessary stress, and your feedback will be shared with the team to review how we can make the process clearer and smoother in the future.
If you’d like us to look into this further or discuss your experience directly, our customer care team can be contacted at hello@lifetimepetcover.co.uk or 0203 750 0022. We’d like the opportunity to ensure your concerns are properly addressed.
Terrible
Terrible. They refused to pay out and I am financially ruined and can't look after any dog anymore. Disgraceful

Hi Colin, thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We’re really glad to hear the process was easy for you. We know the application includes quite a few questions but each one helps us make sure your policy is accurate and properly tailored to you and your pet’s needs. We appreciate you taking the time to complete everything and for choosing us to look after your pet’s cover.
Great price
Got the cover I wanted and easy to cover both my dogs in one simple step, it's also easy to upgrade their standard cover should you wish to do so for a small increase. I'm happy with the service this company provides and you also get a reminder for the coming years policy. It took a little over 5 minutes to complete the form and
I now have peace of mind for the next twelve months.

The renewal price was £40 more than was available on comparison websites for the same company and cover, I contacted them expecting them to honour the price to new customers however after some back and forth I had to cancel my policy and then create another, usually there are a team that are keen to retain customers, just seems odd and inconvenient.

Hi Beth, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we understand how this scenario can appear confusing.
Our prices are based on a range of risk factors - this helps keep our premiums fair and reflective of the true cost of providing comprehensive lifetime cover. You mentioned that the new policy was cheaper, this is because new policies come with several restrictions along with waiting periods before you can claim, that do not apply to renewing customers. By taking out a new policy, these restrictions apply to your policy again, which will reduce the cost, as there is less cover in the first policy year compared to a renewal - as our team would have explained when you spoke with them on the phone. Renewing your existing policy, on the other hand, allows your cover to continue seamlessly, meaning any signs or symptoms of a condition (whether diagnosed/treated, or not) that developed while insured with us, remain covered without any new exclusions or waiting times – which would not be the case on a new policy.
We’re really glad you chose to stay with us and thank you again for taking the time to explain your experience. We encourage feedback from our customers and always looking to improve what we do to give the best service we can.
