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

The company that cares for my pets

Purely pets is not just an insurance company. They truly do care for the welfare of pets. It’s not about ‘money’ it’s about what is best for that animal. And that’s how it should be. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Rip off

My policy renewal nearly doubled... (from £75 a month to £130), needless to say I’d did not renew., and for this reason I will never recommend them again. Social media is a powerful platform to get information across to people.,, which I will be using... Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

The peace of mind at worrying times

It was such a massive weight lifted off us knowing we had our dog covered fully when she needed emergency surgery for bladder blockage. Knowing she was going to be treated ASAP and the cost covered. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020
