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

Renewal Time

5
Although the price had increased significantly, I called to enquire why? I had not claimed throughout the previous year for anything. After a telephone discussion a new lower price was agreed which I was happy to accept for the up and coming year - good service Reviewed on: 11th July 2019

Purely Pawesome

Both my cats are insured by purely pets! They are brilliant - so helpful, friendly, easy to use website, and provide great cover to protect my boys. The best bit is that they really care about your pet when you call them - this makes renewing with them every year so easy Reviewed on: 11th July 2019

Fast, friendly and efficient

5
I have had three dog insured with them and if I have made a claim it has been easy and quick to claim. When my dogs died the team was brilliant, it is an upsetting time but they took all the worries out of the insurance side of things. You don’t know how good a company is until you have to claim and I would recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 11th July 2019
