Purely Pets Pet insurance reviews (2030)

Review of the Purely Pets, Pet insurance:

Poor service, slow claims process, rising premiums

2
With insurance, there are limited interactions upon which to base your judgment. My experiences with Purely Pets thus far have generally been unfavourable. In fairness, the premiums seem competitive for the level of cover - although we will only truly be able to assess that if/when they pay out on a claim! However, they have increased the premium aggressively in year two, despite our pets being young, healthy (no prior claims) and kept indoors. They increased our premiums further when we told them we had moved (from West London to home counties and the pets never leave the house, so it's hard to see what possible change there could be to the risk profile). And now to my ongoing claim. Purely Pets don't pay for treatment up front so you are already having to incur expenses and wait to claim back. Then they have busted through their already lengthy claim assessment period with nothing but standard, identically worded text messages in the meantime, telling me not to worry. I sent a message to follow up and they have busted through their timeframe for responding to that too! Will they ever respond? Will they ever process my claim? The customer service is slow to non-existent and the fervour with which they increase premiums is another bad sign. (My claim has not yet been assessed, so this review is not influenced by a good or bad result). Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Value for Money

Last year I looked to change my 4 year policy that I had with another provider. Could not believe my eyes when the quote I received from Purely Pets was 66% cheaper for the same cover. It is great that not all insurance companies want to rip you off!!! Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

aThey saved our bacon

My cat was suddenly extremely ill and treatment was very costly, we have no savings/disposable income so this was a massive stress and worry on top of having a very unwell pet. Purely pets paid our treatment claim directly to the vets which was a huge sigh of relief and also our lovely cat recovered and is fit and well. Reviewed on: 29th June 2020
