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

I've insured my pets, past and present with Purely Pets. I have found the close to be fair and the help I got when I needed to claim was great. Still using them now and will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 12th September 2020

When our dearly loved doggie was suddenly taken seriously we had to act fast. .After a 3 day stay in hospital, in which they saved his life. Purely Pets, without questions or delay paid the hospital pronto. Just what we needed as we were all traumatised enough. Thank you Purely Pets. That is what I call 1st class + customer service Reviewed on: 12th September 2020

Reliable and great

These guys are so reliable when I need them. I have two cats and would never think of changing insurance providers for my moggies. I also have the peace of mind knowing that if (heaven forbid) they get something long term or recurring, we're still covered. Reviewed on: 12th September 2020
