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

Excellent insurer

5
Great insurer - getting a quote was really easy and all the terms and conditions were set out and easy to understand. We have had to make one claim and the process was really simple, and the money was paid out quite quickly. Would definitely recommend! Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

Perfect Purely Pets!!

5
We have always found Purely Pets easy to deal with. Great customer service and everything explained well, whenever we have needed to make contact with them. Even when we had to dispute a decision on a claim, they listened and indeed it was reviewed and turned around. We feel very happy with the service we have received over the last 10 years we’ve been with them Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

When needed, they paid up.

My dog, a Westie, needed a major operation and dispite only being with 'Purely Pets' for 5 months, they paid out without any issues or problems. Dogs great and back to full fitness. Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

Amazing work

I've had to claim through Purely Pets for two years now because of an extremely poorly cat. They've made it easy to do so both times and have always provided everything I've needed in the suggested time frame, sometimes earlier. Thank you so much to the Purely Pets team for making stressful times so much easier to deal with! Reviewed on: 29th June 2020

Best value for money

Best value for money when comparing to other companies. I hardly ever need to use my dog insurance, so like the idea of a lower premium with a higher excess to pay should I ever need to claim. Reviewed on: 29th June 2020
