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

My dog Charlie

I have a dog called Charlie with a life long condition I am insured with purely pets i send in my claims for his treatment and they are always dealt with very quickly and paid within ten days ive been with purely pets for seven years and would not leave for anyone else also their premiums are very competitive Reviewed on: 10th July 2019

Empathetic Customer Service

5
My dog Freddie has arthritis, Purely Pets accepted a claim for his stem cell therapy and supporting treatments without quibble. Freddie is 12 and inevitably his monthly premium increased. When I spoke to a Purely Pet rep explaining the new premium was more than I could afford they suggested a different package that reduced my premium & excess, still gave me enough cover and didn't exclude his existing conditions. I was very impressed with the empathy the rep showed. Reviewed on: 10th July 2019
