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

Saved my dog max :)

max was diagnosed with IMHA, and was critically ill. He needed several transfusions, operations and hospital care. Purely pets paid all my claims with no quibbles, which was a big relief as it was a difficult time and a lot of money. Max is now happy as ever and slowly recovering.

Great service and Value

We have insured our 2 year old cat through the Purely pets for two years and just renewed for a third . They are ther when you want them and provide quick responses when you claim . Other pet have increased policies heavily but I thought the level of increase on renewal after a claim was very fair Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

My experience of purely pets is only a positive one. Every time I have a question about my policy or about levels of cover they are only too happy to help. There great customer service staff are quick to answer and respond respectfully to you every time I call. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020
