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

Excellent service

Purely Pets were excellent when we needed to claim for our cat, Neville, when he fractured a toe and had to have multiple X-rays, etc. The claim was easy to process online, handed it all over to our vets and Purely Pets paid out within a few weeks. Highly recommended ! Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Easy to set up, easy to claim and payments received in good time. Having confidence they are there when needed, but hoping never to have to use them. Thanks Darran Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Second time round

Just lost a lovely dog insured through you and about to take out a policy for my new dog! Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Great cover

5
Intuitive online website, easy to use and select cover options. Cover is excellent value for money and save me a considerable amount instead of continuing the insurance cover with my previous provider. The excess values were cheaper as well. An all round winner for me with an award winning pet insurer. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020
