Definitely the best insurance cover in the UK

I have 4 dogs insured with KC Insurance and I am confident that they provide the best cover available in the UK. Easy to contact on the phone, straight forward to make a claim, very good in every way.

I can't believe how helpful the lady I talked to was. She guided me through everything which took a while as I wasn't that good with computers. She was amazing and very patient with me. We got there in the end , without her help and knowledge I wouldn't have been able to put my claim in. Thank you so very much.

My beautiful minature snautzer puppy…

My beautiful minature snautzer puppy came kennel club registered with 6 weeks free insurance , unfortunately during this time she became terminally ill and had to be put to sleep ,it was a very upsetting time and the kennel club insurance paid just over half the vets bill which helped enormously, I thought there would be a catch as it was free but they were very sympathetic and payment was prompt.

An asset to the company.

I got myself worried as I accidentally cancelled the monthly payments. I have been dealing with my elderly mom, who has dementia. I'm running around a lot and was cancelling stuff online. Thankfully the company sent me emails. I rang this morning and the lady was so understanding bless her. I spoke about my situation and she helped me to sort it all out. She is an asset to your team in customer service. Thank you once again.
