Over one in 10 pet owners are unhappy with their insurance provider, according to a new survey carried out by Which?
Poor communication and value for money were found to be the top gripes, in the insurance company's study of around 2,000 pet owners.
Some 8 per cent of policy holders said they were 'unhappy' with their provider, while 3 per cent were 'very dissatisfied'.
For 16 per cent of the survey's respondents, regular communication with their pet insurer was 'poor' or 'very poor' and 12 per cent felt that value for money and the product itself was 'very poor'.
About a third of the participants had made a claim in the past 12 months, of which one in seven had problems with getting it paid.
According to the Association of British Insurers, 3 million of the country's pet owners have insurance. Providers pay a staggering £1.6 million a day in claims, with the average payment being £679.
