Review of the M&S Bank - Marks and Spencer, Pet Insurance:

Immoral price increases at review.

They have no qualms whatsoever in making their pet insurance prohibitively expensive at renewal by doubling the premium. This forces many pet owners like myself to cancel the insurance on the grounds of affordability and leaves an elderly pet without the treatment they have become dependent upon. This is in my opinion the height of animal cruelty and it is not treating vulnerable customers fairly either. If they are so concerned about a specific condition then this should be excluded from inception. Reviewed on: 13th December 2024

Wish I had stayed with Tesco

Refused to pay for a claim as they alleged the condition was pre existing, when it is not possible to actually prove this was the case. Reviewed on: 6th November 2024

Ridiculous price increase !

Have had our jackchi insured with m&s for a year she is in good health and haven't made any claims she isn't 2 years old until March 2025. The renewal quote arrived today and it's gone up by £64.74 will I be renewing , NO I WON'T expected a small increase but not as large as the one I received. If they can increase it by £64.74 when she is not even 2 years old then I would dread to see what the price would be by the time she reached 10 years old. Reviewed on: 5th November 2024

Happy with my pet insurance policy

M&S were the only ones who don't charge a percentage of vets' fees on top of the excess. It's a great insurance policy but it does go up steeply each year. That said I have been with them for several years now. They are very friendly and easy to deal with. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Had an amazing experience with M&S Pet Insurance.

Had an amazing experience with M&S Pet Insurance. I’ve used the advice line a couple of times, which has been very useful. Claiming for treatment is simple, just scan and upload receipts and in my case payments were made same day. Really great service. Reviewed on: 30th January 2024

Worthless rip off Used buried 'terms and conditions' to refuse claim

Rip off. Refused claim for dental work as in buried terms and conditions says its not covered unless your cat has had its teeth checked within 12 months. I mean who can afford to take pet for annual teeth check. I can only presume the use that clause to not pay out for various other emergencies. Rip off and rubbish Reviewed on: 7th September 2023

Fraudulent?

We have paid a monthly premium for the past 8 years, never made a claim. Our dog has an acute dental issue and MnS refuse to cover. Why do I believe this is fraudulent? I'll explain. They declined based on an entry in 2019 that referred to plaque. No detail stating Dental Work to be carried out, and the conversation was advice to try and prevent plaque getting worse. Go to now and he has infection and they refer back to an entry from 2019. Now, here's the issue. In 2019 Covid 19 hit and even if dental work had been advised, which it didn't, then vets were only undertaking Emergency treatment and hence no routine appointments. Yet MnS took full premium throughout Covid 19 knowing that part of the premium was to cover dental and it wasn't available. How can a company charge for something that globally isn't available? I find this disgraceful and this will be the case for thousands of pet owners. Avoid MnS, they are no better than a thief on the street. I will be seeking legal advice, we know have a 9 year old dog in acute pain and who needs urgent help and they won't cover him. Subsequent to this he will need ongoing vets appointments for infection and jaw deterioration, and possible sepsis and organ failure, all of which will require claims to be made. So quality of life will disappear altogether because he cannot eat, and they have basically given him a death sentence. Disgusting, please check your policy and also ensure your vets does accurate case notes because they are often vague and inaccurate. Interestingly the vets still want the business, funny that.!!

Responsive, Swift and clear

I’ve used this product for many years for several cats I’ve had. The premium is very reasonable with low excess and you can choose the level of cover. Swift processing and payment for existing conditions. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Overpriced renewal prices

After 8 years with this insurance group for my dog making no claims I received my renewal.The price was increased by 28% year on year.I contacted the service centre for these reasons and asked it be renewed if they wished to retain buiseness ,after much conversation no movement.I have now moved insurance and have a similar policy for half the price of Marks and spencer.My advice is to shop around as they are not tailoring policy's simply using algorithms to create quotes and make no allowance for claims etc simply focusing on profit. Appauling for this branded company Reviewed on: 19th August 2023
