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

Pet insurance

Having used many different pet insurances over the years we have at last found the best . Both our terriers are insured and at a very reasonable premium and excess. Also the ease of contact regarding any issues. We have recommended Purely Pets to friends and family. Many thanks Rosemary and Tim , not forgetting Teddy and Lexie . Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

Great Customer Service

I haven't had to make any claims but when I first purchased the insurance I was very close to making one and as it had been early days I was quite worried. The customer service was great and said I was covered and should have no problem if I needed to make a claim. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
