A stellar year for Moneyfacts Pet Insurance Star Ratings 2024

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings 2024 for the Pet Insurance arena.

  • For cat pet insurance there were 159 Five-Star and 58 Four-Star Ratings and for dog pet insurance there were 168 Five-Star and 53 Four-Star Ratings.
  • The market for both categories has expanded with the number of products available for new customers increasing year-on-year, with 26 more cat policies and 31 more dog policies available for assessment.
  • More than 75 fields of information per individual product were collected for the policies.

The products awarded Five or Four-Star Ratings offer the most comprehensive range of standout features and competitive limits, which set them apart from the rest of the market.

Moneyfacts has been analysing data for more than 35 years, with the instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality helping inform consumers when comparing Pet Insurance products.

Nine out of 10 people agree that a Star Rating from an independent and impartial company could influence their decision in considering taking out a Financial Services product.* (*Source: Moneyfacts Group Plc, Star Ratings survey 11/2022-1/2023).

Samantha Owens, Star Ratings & Personal Finance Analytics Manager at Moneyfacts, said:

“When a beloved pet becomes ill it can become a worrying time and having insurance to buffer the cost of what can be costly treatment can take away some of the stress.

“But, when looking for a new policy to take out, combing through the hundreds of products which are available to purchase can be a daunting task. With cover ranging from basic cover for accidents to more comprehensive cover, the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings for pet insurance can help to narrow down on the best policy currently available for each pet.

“The Moneyfacts Star Ratings help the customer filter down within their budget by highlighting products with most comprehensive features and the most competitive limits, with those obtaining the highest ratings offering the most in the current market.”
