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

Easy and Pleasant Service

Friendly and easy service with no stresses which is very important when you are already so worried about the health of your beloved family pet. I would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 13th July 2019

premium costs

4
Hard to know wether to spend large amounts on premiums and perhaps never claim or spend more moderately and be covered for less expensive treatment One dog cost thousands over cover but the others have been comfortably covered. I am happy the decision we made was right for us, claims were easy and payments were made directly into our account Reviewed on: 13th July 2019

Smooth, stress free pet insurance at a great price, when my dog slipped his lead and ran under a car he was very lucky to only suffer a broken hip, the insurance covered his scans, surgery, physio and hydrotherapy with no problems. Very helpful and straight forward. Reviewed on: 13th July 2019
