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

Online Easy to manage and customer friendly

This is a very easy insurance company to deal with. It is all online which makes management easy, however you can phone if you have a specific query. I have never had a problem with getting payment for claims and my dog is almost 12 and had excellent life cover. Reviewed on: 5th July 2020

We were looking for a cheaper insurance for our 5 year old lab. Purely Pets provided all the benefits we needed for a fraction of the cost of our previous insurer. Only potential issue is the first 14 days cover...thank fully Paddie didnt need to claim during that time Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020
