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

Excellent Service

Thankfully have only had to use them once or twice for investigatory procedures but there was never any problem and they paid out quickly. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

Great cover and price!

After moving my insurance from another provider, Purely Pets had the cover level I wanted with a fantastic price and extras included- such as the vet phone service. Haven’t had to claim yet but so far so good! Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

We have had insurance with Purely Pets for 5 years, during which time we have had several claims for operations and treatment for our pug Frankie. Each of these claims have been dealt with quickly and professionally by Purely Pets and we have found them to be helpful and easy to communicate with at all times. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
