This company is awful to deal with as soon as you make a claim. They have lied several times, staff are rude and incompetent. Reviewed on: 21st February 2025

TERRIBLE!

1
TERRIBLE!! I cannot put into words how awful they are, will do anything to get out of paying a claim. Moved from many pets who were amazing as Tesco policy sounded great, silly of me as they were defo too good to be true! Will not pay out for a one off urinary incontinence incident where tests came back normal, due to her having a similar incident beforehand saying they are related. How can they be related when there has been no ongoing treatments or vet visits between these periods? She has no ongoing illness’ touch wood. Can’t wait to leave these and move back to many pets. I used to work for Tesco bank so stupidly did not bother to read reviews, please do not make the same mistake I did and read the reviews before you take out a policy with these jokers. Reviewed on: 19th July 2024

Pay out Swindlers!

1
All the 1 star reviews are absolutely spot on! This company will dig and dig to find absolutely anything to reject your claim and keep your premiums. Whether your vet and all evidence proves the contrary. You pay them only to be made out to be a liar when you want to claim. Will be taking them to ombudsman. Despicable service.

Had a renewal of over £10 more a month went on comparison sites found cheaper than I pay now with them. They wouldn’t match then tried scare tactics stating my pet wouldn’t be insured for 14 days when she’s covered with them until the 28th. Terrible service Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Very disappointed and no empathy

1
Took our 15 year old yorkie (bob) to vets as he was urinating more,loosing weight and dry skin he had bloods taken, indicating little change in his liver so the vet wanted to scan him incase there was any hidden abnormalities. Bottom line is tesco will not cover him for treatment due to seizers that has had 3 times last year they said it was PRE existing illness connects to the liver. Trying to fight it but they have no empathy Reviewed on: 31st January 2024

I lost my dog at nearly 7 year old they asked for more information from my vet which they were supplied with, they still refused to pay out, the dog was insured with Tesco since he was 3 months old, I have been asked for a bank statement from 7 years ago to prove how much I paid,also I have been told while on the phone they can’t hear me and put phone down,I have been past from pillar to post people who where handling the case had been taken ill , I have been given so many excuses it’s untrue, also RSA insurance who work with Tesco are just as bad,they are a disgrace to pet owners and should not be trading, I will be taking this further, Please do not insure your animal with tesco you will regret it trust me I did, they are fine at taking your money,paying you is a different story Reviewed on: 4th January 2024
