Chihuahua x never once claimed in 6 years and price...

Chihuahua x never once claimed in 6 years and price gone up 50 per cent. I asked why - 1 year older and i live in London. I went with John Lewis because of the reputation but its appalling- customer services was fobbing off. Not interested at all. Couldn’t explain is shorter life dogs were even higher premiums. Told if I went on line even with John Lewis that they wouldn’t honour it. Don’t be scammed. Just find an insurer who wants to insure your pet. John Lewis don’t. Very sad ...

John Lewis Pet Insurance - SCAM!

John Lewis Pet Insurance - SCAM! Paying policy for over a year refused to pay out for £150 as apparently was a pre-existing condition even though it wasn't. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2025

50 % Increase For No Reason

Just got my renewal cover sent to me, 50% increase then there has never been a claim and my dog is still young and healthy. John Lewis are just ripping of dog owners to fill the gaps in their P&L Reviewed on: 8th November 2024

Only use if you're never going to make a claim

Refuse to pay our claim. First they stated 'we've carried out a full review of your request and are unable to accept your claim as you were not insured with us for the previous year. When we proved to them we had been with them continually for the previous 12 months,they then came back two weeks later stating they can't pay our claim as it is linked to a previous condition. The claim I made has nothing to do with a previous condition. They have not answered any of our questions ... Reviewed on: 1st October 2024

Very poor product and customer service from John Lewis

As a loyal John Lewis customer we were really disappointed by their pet insurance. The price seemed good but it turns out they are unwilling to pay out for claims, and use any excuse to avoid it. Communication is awful and slow too, and I've wasted ours trying to make a perfectly legitimate claim. No where near the standard of other pet insurance we've used. Really disappointed in this service from John Lewis. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

in our experience they use any excuse not to pay claims

in our experience they use any excuse to try and get out of paying any claims, not communication just poor all round, puts the John Lewis Brand to shame Reviewed on: 14th June 2024

70% increase from last year despite NO CLAIMS.

4 year old Border Collie. No claims. Healthy and active. JL has just increased my premium by 70%. Absolutely furious about such an unwarranted hike. The industry should be monitored and increases capped when NO CLAIMS have been made. Reviewed on: 29th May 2024

Dick Turpin is now selling pet Insurance !

At renewal John Lewis have more than DOUBLED my pet insurance for my little cat wanting over £600 for the year. I had one claim for £85 so expected a small increase but this is daylight robbery. In fact I suggested they now take to standing by the road in a mask, brandishing a pair of pistols. I have told them to cancel my policy at renewal and I’ll just pay as and when Oscar needs medical care. Absolute money grabbing charlatans ! Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

At renewal they double the price, i have not made on...

At renewal they double the price, i have not made one claim and the dog is not even 2 years old. Its a total con reel you in with a reasonable price and double it at renewal. So next year with no claims i would be probably paying £100 a months if this year is anything to go by. Disgusting with john lewis putting their trusted name to this Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024
