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 sadly had to make two claims for my little dog and both have been stress free from the claim side of things, no quibble just got on with processing the claim which is what you need when you have a poorly pet. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Purely purrfect

5
So I've been with the purely pets for a few years now. I've had to make claims on a number of occasions and it has always been fast and stress free. When I've had to call for queries I've never had to wait long in a queue and always spoke to friendly helpful members of staff. I regularly. Recomend them to friends and clients both.

Great cover and amazing customer service!

The cover you can get for your money is so much better compared to others! I did so much research and this was by far the best I could get! Customer service is great also, always willing to help and do what they can! Reviewed on: 10th September 2020

Easy to take out. Just love the fact I can ring up 24/7 for veterinary advice if my pet is sick or insured. Gives me true peace of mind. Reviewed on: 10th September 2020
