Pet insurance provider, Animal Friends Insurance, has been awarded a 5 Star Rating for its Prestige policy by the leading independent financial research company, Defaqto.
Defaqto compares pet insurance products across the entire market, focusing on quality and comprehensiveness of cover. Assessors evaluate features, benefits and levels of cover across policies, awarding criteria a score from 1 to 5.
Elaine Fairfax, Managing Director of Animal Friends Insurance, said: “We strive to make pet insurance affordable to everyone, whatever their circumstances. The Animal Friends Prestige policy is not only our flagship product, but one of the most comprehensive, in terms of features and benefits, in the UK. We’re delighted to achieve the Defaqto 5 Star rating as we believe it recognises the great value Prestige offers pet owners.”
Mike Powell, Defaqto’s Insight Analyst for General Insurance, said: “Looking for the right pet insurance can be daunting. There are so many insurance policies and people too often choose simply on price. That can be costly if customers later discover they do not have the cover they need. It is important for consumers to focus on the entire package when comparing pet insurance options to ensure they have the right cover for their needs.
“Defaqto Star Ratings for Pet Insurance help inform consumers’ purchasing decisions by providing an instant, independent assessment of the feature quality and comprehensiveness of every product on the market. A 5 Star Rating signifies that a policy is an excellent product, offering a comprehensive range of features and benefits.”
