Overview

ManyPets started life as Bought By Many in 2012, building group-buying communities for people with niche insurance needs. They pivoted to pet insurance and quickly became the UK's highest-rated pet insurer. In 2021, they rebranded to ManyPets following a $350 million funding round. Their unique selling point is the Pre-existing policy, which covers conditions your pet already has — something almost no other UK insurer offers. Their app allows you to submit claims in minutes with photo uploads and track your claim in real time. ManyPets also offers flexible excess options and cover levels from basic accident-only through to comprehensive lifetime policies.
