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 have needed to use my insurance on two occasions for two of my dogs. It was dealt with very quickly and efficiently. Also needed some questions answered by telephone. The girls were lovely and very patient. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Hard to fathom

The websitr is very difficult to work with and confusing. The option to contact customer service is hard to find but when you can get through to them it is first rate. If the website is improved then I am sure my opinions will alter. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Competitive prices

my dog has no existing conditions, so I can easily change insurance provider without any adverse consequences - but I keep choosing Purely Pets because they provide a range of service levels at competitive prices when you view the results on comparison websites. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020
