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

Fabulous Service!

Have used Purely Pets for our Airedales, Kiton and Angus (who went to sleep 16 months ago), for several years. We had to use our policy to cover Angus's final illness, and also for Kiton, who has chronic ear problems. In each case, could not fault the service we received from Purely Pets. Staff were always efficient, friendly and in the case of Angus, empathetic at a very difficult time for us. We had expected that because of the level of claims we made for both illnesses, the premiums would have increased significantly, as had been the case with other insurance companies we've used in the past. Not the case. Kiton's premiums rose only by a few pounds per month last year, despite having his recurring problems. Premiums are still very competitive for an 11 year old.

Having shopped around many pet insurance providers, I found Purely Pets offering the best type of insurance at a reasonable cost in comparison to other providers. Easy to understand terms and conditions, easy to set up, highly recommend. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

I have two dogs insured. The first was bitten by an adder. The resulting claim was paid quickly and without fuss. A second claim was also met without a quibble. So I am very happy with the quality of the service and responses I received from Purely Pets. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
