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

Affordable and hassle free

I haven't had to use their services yet thankfully, but I really appreciate knowing that they have a helpline 24/7. Signing up was quick and easy, and they offered a wide variety of cover levels to suit my needs. I wanted a lower excess, which I got, but my monthly payments are still very reasonable. Thoroughly recommended. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

Excellent plan options and really easy to apply for online. And when I had a query the call centre was very polite and helpful. My query was closed down and enabled me to proceed with my plan option. Overall a very satisfying experience. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
