For cats but I wouldn't use anything other than PetPlan's lifetime policy having looked at the Ts & Cs, yes it might cost a few more quid a month but nothing compared to the overall cost of managing a chronic lifelong condition with other policies that stop covering pre-existing. My cat who lived to 17 had EPI and IBD for over 10 years which needed frequent treatment and latterly insulin-dependent diabetes before he passed away. Probably several thousand in vets bills every year. I've never had a PP bill refused and they pay out within a week or so (many vets will also settle directly with them).
PetPlan cover dental other than routine cleaning (most cats will need an extraction once their teeth are at the cleaning state anyhow)
Another friend of mine's little Havanese dog has needed both ACLs reconstructing, about 15K all together, moistly covered by insurance (PetPlan I beleive)
My brother covers their large young rotti-staffi through Tesco fwiw - use one of the comparison sites to compare policies (do not just go on cost). A small mutt will cost far less to insure than a purebreed or indeed a large mutt!
I did shop around before going back to PP for the new cat, many other companies are sneaky as they don’t cover the whole claim (often only 80%) as well as having an excess per condition (PP only do this when the animal is much older), so although the premium may have been a fiver less a month, any £1k claim (very very easy) would have cost £200 plus the excess
