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

COMPETITIVE PRICES AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

When the renewal arrived from my then current insurer it seemed to me that the increase was excessive. I researched the market for an alternative taking particular note of reviews. This led me to ask for a quote from Purely Pets. The quote gave comparative cover to my previous insurer at a fraction of the price and the process to apply and receive cover was totally painless. I have two dogs and will definitely be changing insurer for the other to Purely Pets when the renewal is due. Thank you Purely Pets. Reviewed on: 29th June 2020
