I always feel the prices seem to go up in-line with what the insurance companies are willing to pay. I.e the inflation is caused by vets pushing their luck over and over. So when you aren't insured, you're paying a lot. Just a feeling, nothing to back it up.
Any vets out there who want to comment on @MORETHAN insurance's claim that "vets fees have tripled in past year" to justify its excessive premium hikes?

I'm not sure it has much to do with vet fee inflation at all. More to do with insurance companies trying to lock in time-short customers who don't notice premium hikes. Bet it accounts for high percentage of customers.

Having seen your previous tweet now, I think you're probably right. Have you ever claimed on your insurance? When I run the numbers on my three elderly cats - it just wasn't worth it.

I get very close to not bothering every year. But then I have uninsured friends who've paid thousands for various treatments. Boils down to your appetite for risk and putting said animal down if bills rack up. Not judging anyone, BTW. It's a very fine line.

They don't go outside - so cars aren't an issue. Mostly minor problems, which you can't claim because elderlies have increased excess and you pay a portion of the overall too. I just pay as I go and if there's a big one I'm not expected, I remind myself I made that choice.
