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

It was very easy to set up my insurance, i have two cats, so had to get a quote for one, then add the other in, the gentleman i dealt with on the phone made this a quick and easy process. The cost is well within my budget Reviewed on: 13th July 2019

PET INSURANCE MADE EASY

5
From my initial phone call I found Purely Pets to be friendly, polite, understanding and human. Having insured with them for a few years and having had one claim the service they have given has been caring and professional in every respect. I would recommend Purely Pets to anyone looking for a company who give an honest and reliable service where you feel a valued and recognised customer and a company who in my opinion get it just right.

Excellent prompt service

Our previous experiences with pet insurers was not as good as with Purely Pets. This company deals directly with our vets and always pays promptly and keeps us in the loop via email. Excellent prompt service every time. Our Whippet , Lola, has epilepsy so to have the assurance that her treatment can continue throughout her life is very important and reassuring Reviewed on: 13th July 2019
