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

Very helpful and friendly

My dog suffered a very serious injury, potentially life ending, but is now on the road to making a near as possible full recovery. Purely Pets have been great throughout. When you are at your lowest ebb due to your dog’s illness or injury it is good to know that your insurance company is friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 15th September 2020

Good online account access

I have been with this insurer for almost 2 years and very happy with the service. Have placed couple of claims which were handled professionally and timely. I like the online account facility which allows access to see all related email communication and details of the account. Reviewed on: 15th September 2020
