Beware. Sainsburys pet insurance

1
Beware Had a Sainsburys lifelong, pet insurance policy for years.Only claimed once for an amount of £276.46p.The next year as a result of this small claim, Sainsburys put up my insurance premium by 120%! Put in a formal complaint asking them to justify a 120% increase and they couldn't! Next stop financial Ombudsman, that will cost them, just for looking into the matter. Now my dog is sadly uninsured with no prospect of a reasonable policy elsewhere, due to an existing condition! Sainsburys, the pirates of the insurance world! You have been warned.

Sainsbury's assessed and paid my claim so fast.

Sainsbury's assessed and paid my claim so fast. The communication and portal were great so I didn't need to make an effort to contact them myself. They worked directly witb the vets which made a very stressful situation much less stressful. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

AVOID AT ALL COSTS SCAMMERS

1
Absolute joke of a firm paid insurance for 2 dogs with these scammers. Put in a claim declined it straightaway no explanation asked for a review point blank refused. Underwritten by the wirst Underwriters ever Pinnacle shocking firm. DO NOT USE either of these just take your money and give you nothing. Reviewed on: 10th January 2026

Sainsburys Pet Insurance

5
Have not had to make any claims under the policy as of today’s date however the specifics of the policy were made very clear upon signing up and the online portal is easy to access. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Renewal more than for a new customer.

2
Typical company who charges existing customers (who haven't had any claims) more at renewal than a new customer. Customer loyalty is well and truely dead with Sainsburys. Reviewed on: 7th January 2025

we try our best to pay you less

1
Pet killed ( Dexter Bengal Snowy ) submitted a claim for 9 days ago to be paid £200 towards cremation fees and not a penny of the £1500 i had him insured for. DO NOT USE SAINSBURY'S 2/5 trust pilot ! Reviewed on: 19th October 2024

Waste of money

1
Had a genuine claim and they keep saying cannot communicate with the vet even though all details are on there website. Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of money . After having had 6 other dogs previously this is the first one we have insured and when it comes to the first claim we are given the runaround. Absolute waste of money and will never do it again . Reviewed on: 1st October 2024

Great customer service and easy to contact

Nectar Reward on Pet Insurance not worth the effort!

2
Poor customer service. The offer was to get Nectar Points if you take out Pet Insurance but it is really difficult to claim this. The Nectar team and Sainsbury's Bank are not connected at all and the customer has to chase several times requesting the reward. Not worth the effort. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
