Review of the Purely Pets, Pet Insurance:

Purely Pets recommendation

I have received a very good service from purely pets, my dog is now 6 years old and until recently have been with another insurance company. I am particularly pleased with the level of customer service from purely pets I have received,compared to other companies. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2020

Received my renewal and it had increased by £200.

Received my renewal and it had increased by £200. Rang to see if they were prepared to offer a better price. They weren’t advice was “ take it or leave it” obviously left it and got a better quote elsewhere. Never made a claim on my insurance so no justification in the massive increase.

Trying not to honour claim

The one star is only due to the politeness of staff. The company has decided to reject twice a vets bill of £3154.00. We have always been responsible pet owners. So we took our dog to the Vets at the end of 2022 due to a lump that came up and down on her knee. Vet looks at it and says monitor come back if it grows. We go back in 2023 and Vet decides to take aspirate etc. Ends up we need to have operation etc. sent claim in and rejected as the company claims it was a pre existing condition and not mentioned when policy was renewed. There was no condition when we renewed the policy and the Vet says to monitor!!! If at the time the Vet decided that action was needed then we would have done this at the time. Surely any sensible person can see this decision is not understandable and it feels the company are just trying to find an excuse not to honour the policy. I will end my policy as soon as I can once I have exhausted my complaint to the financial ombudsman. But got to reflect that at present could recommend this company to anyone. I would suggest not buying a policy with Purely Pets. Reviewed on: 30th November 2023

Disgusting do not use

Horrible experience I would not recommend to anyone Reviewed on: 8th November 2023

4 WEEKS STILL NO PAYMENT!

SHOCKING! 4 WEEKS AND STILL COUNTING TO GET PAID!! Should have checked the Pet Insurance Guide who rates them 2/5!!! I have had 5 rescue dogs over my lifetime and never experienced anything this bad. Portal online never gets updated, call centre staff are like robots and clearly THE SHAREHOLDERS like to hang onto the interest our large sums of money are making them Reviewed on: 26th September 2023

Scammers

Refused to pay me out when my cat died, keep well away from this company Reviewed on: 19th September 2023

To Award one star actually hurts

The whole company are a complete shambles They issue Various promises and e mails knowing they have no intention of paying your claim We feel that we have been conned after being told our claim is now unsuccessful after we have paid ourselves for our Dogs operation , Prior to being told we would be covered by one of there telephone advisors Please please be warned you are dealing with a heartless ruthless money making machine, who will go to extreme lengths to not paying your claim !! Don't make the same mistake we did Date of experience: 13 September 2023 Reviewed on: 13th September 2023

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Don't bother insuring with them they never pay out even if you have a lifetime policy they just reject on basis its a pre-existing condition. Reviewed on: 29th August 2023

Stay clear they make any excuse not to pay out

I whish I'd done my research before paying out to these. I've paid nearly £40 per month for years, I tried to claim for my dogs ear infection which turned out to be cancer of the ear canal, she had many visits to the vets with the bill being nearly £600, when we tried to claim, because the 1st visit was just before it was renewed, the bill was only for £45, they took £160 excess off that bill which they carried over to the next bill so they carried over £115 and took it off the remainder, plus they said the many visits for ear infection was different from the removal of the tumor, so they classed it as two separate claims 3 in total so they took off 2 x £160 plus £115 access off the previous, in total we received just over £100 from a total bill of nearly £600, their loss as we will be cancelling our insurance which equates to approx £500 per year, which is more than they should have paid us. This should not be allowed to happen, who is monitoring these bad companies Reviewed on: 5th August 2023

AVOID

Would stay clear, POOR SERVICE VERY SLOW LIVE UP TO THE ANYTHING NOT TO PAY NARRATIVE OF INSURANCE. Details below you decide :- Put in a clam in back at the start of May for treatments payed for regarding a servier ear infection totaling around £700 After being told it will take upto 4 weeks to prosses, it has in fact taken mour than 8 and after several chaise up calls It has now been declined due to being an "existing condition" Personal I think this is a very loose use of the word condition as they are referring to a 1 week course of antibiotics back in 2019 (4 years ago) Personal that is not an ongoing condition But I let you decide Reviewed on: 6th July 2023

Appalling
