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

Good so far

4
Have been with PP for just over a year. Unfortunately have had to make a claim this month. It has been settled and I’m expecting a payment any day. So far so good. However, having read reviews I am dreading our renewal price next year and as my dog’s condition is lifelong I am now unable to get cover elsewhere. But my experience so far is good...let’s hope it continues! Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

Generally good insurance

We’ve had no problems claiming on our insurance for ongoing claims, however I do feel that the premium is hiked up vastly each year making it very unaffordable Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
