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

Very reasonable price

I have had to contact Purely pets a few times and they have been very good to deal with. Would highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 30th June 2020

Inflated renewals for existing vs new customers

2
Frustrated and disappointed to see that a new customer can get a equivalent ( actually slightly better) policy for sub £30/m when my renewal was quoted at >£50/m. When I called up to discuss my renewal premium was reduced slightly but still >25% more than the cost for the same for a new customer. That sucks. Reviewed on: 30th June 2020

Stress Free Insurance.

I contacted Purely Pets just after buying our retriever Labrador puppy. Good price quoted for the cover we wanted. All very simple, and we are not bombarded with emails afterwards; but know they are there if needed. Reviewed on: 30th June 2020

Help for Monty

Our Pug Monty needed an Operation to help him breath and Purely Pets were there to help us financially when we needed them. We are Pensioners and are so pleased we decided to insure our precious pet with them. Reviewed on: 30th June 2020

Really easy to set up and comprehensive cover

Will be renewing with Purely Pets as they have a very comprehensive cover which means that I am safe in the knowledge that my cat/baby is protected. Reviewed on: 30th June 2020
