I'm dreading my increase this year.
One of my girls is insured with them and it's currently £79.99 per month.
This year we will have claimed more than the premiums that we have paid...

If yours have gone up by 39% it means that I could be looking at at least £120 per month maybe more on this years renewal :(

I have three others insured by them  so haven't even started to work out what thats going to be. If thats what the market is doing generally we either pay up or put the money away which imo is a risk. Its all become crazy which ever way you turn, gas bills electricity etc

I think this is a trend followed by most pet insurers now.

All of my premiums (Marks & Spencer) have gone up this year, but none worse than the one for our 9-year old pyrenees... He was £54/month last year which I thought was a lot, but just about acceptable for an 8-year old giant breed! But then the renewal came in March, and it doubled going up to £110/month - that's £1300 per year - a lot more than my own health insurance!!! Needless to say, I cancelled the policy and changed. It now means that pre-existing conditions aren't covered, but he is now insured with AXA for £30/month and no percentage to contribute in claims.

I have left all the others with M&S as they all have pre-existing conditions which could potentially become expensive in the future, so I am stuck with them. But if as they get older it becomes unacceptable, then I will have to change them too! I have however started a savings account for our pets where I put an amount away every month.
