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

During Megan`s problems over the past year, everything was soon sorted when I had to claim due to the high cost of vet bills, so thank you Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

Efficient and fast claim process

5
I’ve only been a Purely Pets customer for a year and have had to claim for the first time for my dog. You hear lots of bad reports about pet insurance in general but I needn’t have worried. My claims have been handled quickly and I was kept fully informed along the way by email and text. I like the plain English of my policy and don’t feel I’m being tripped up with the literature. Thank you from myself and Millie! Reviewed on: 29th June 2020
