Review of the Co-op Insurance, Pet Insurance:

Communication abysmal

1
Communication abysmal and currently on week 6 of my claim. No real communication at all, just automated messages telling me nothing! Will not be renewing. Reviewed on: 5th December 2024

Go with another provider

1
Bad experience dealing with these from the get go. Having to constanstly chase, front money for treatment running into the £1,000s for months on end as they dragged their heels sorting out payments. The lack of compassion when dealing with our sick dog was also notable. I recommend going basically anywhere else. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Don't use this company

1
I have been told by my vets that my dog requires a operation of over 1500 pounds. I rang co op insurance in regards of this being paid for as it should be covered to be told that untill the operation is paid for by myself that they won't pay the vets. The vets have also contacted them to no avail. How they expect someone with children and on benefits to cover these costs upfront first is absolutely disgusting. You pay insurance to be covered without having to pay these bills but unless you can pay everything yourself first and would keep as far away as possible from this insurance Reviewed on: 30th December 2022

claim outstanding 3 months

1
several telephone numbers hours on the phone. The underwriters changed in February since then you cant get through given different numbers cut off previous to the change they were first class do not buy Reviewed on: 20th April 2022

Excellent customer service

5
I would like to express my thanks and to mention one member of staff in particular for his help with my parents pet insurance. My mum passed away and the dogs insurance had to be switched over to my dad. My dad spoke to Neil, and he was fantastic with my dad. Neil explained clearly what was needed but also using sympathy towards him because of his loss. Neil made an upsetting event that little bit simpler by treating my dad well. I hope he sees this. Thank you to Neil Reviewed on: 21st March 2022

Claims not settled

1
I have insured both our cats with coop. Never made a claim in 11 years as both cats healthy. When my older cat suddenly fell ill and ultimately had to be euthanised, I sent in a claim at the end of November but still not settled a month later despite answering their one query on Dec 3rd.! Nobody has a definitive answer why and you can’t contact the assessor. Very poor service and very upsetting. Stay well clear Reviewed on: 30th December 2020

Good pet insurance

4
This insurance offered us the best options and cover out of the few we looked at, as it covers any damage the pet does to others as well as to itself unlike most Reviewed on: 11th September 2019
