Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 1,757 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company, particularly praising the reliable coverage. Customers frequently highlight the efficient claim process, mentioning that payments are processed quickly and often coordinated directly with veterinary practices. People also deeply appreciate the supportive customer service team, describing staff members as polite, responsive, and remarkably compassionate during emotionally stressful situations. However, some customers also noted frustrations regarding substantial annual price increases, especially as their beloved pets grow older. Consumer feedback indicates that pet owners often feel trapped with their policies because switching providers becomes nearly impossible once pre-existing conditions exist.

Compared to other insurance companies…

Compared to other insurance companies Purely Pets do pay out on most thing. But always read the small print as they change things as the years go by and you don't realise when you come to claim what originally said £4000 is now only £2000

My cat is old and we are stuck with the insurer as per condition that will not be covered by other insurers. So, every year the increase in the premiums is £12 to £15 extra per month.

Not nice to be honest. Only claimed once and that’s it for that condition across insurers.

Choose insurers carefully

Painfully slow at responding to emails regarding claims. It's like a war of attrition, likely done intentionally to encourage people to give up. Following one claim premiums have dramatically jumped year on year. No precision quotation based on risk clearly just slapping on an extra 8-10 per month repeatedly. When asked for clarification on how the increase is calculated just a blanket pass the blame onto the underwriters.

Have been a customer since we added our dog to the family, I think customer service is good and I like that I call up and speak to someone and within decent time. Easy to deal with but premiums are getting a little ridiculous, reasoning is too scripted for price increases and while I understand certain areas, there is actually no consideration for my dogs health in the premium. I was loyal to PP because of the service and clarity but now feel I don't have much choice because my dog has a "pre-existing health condition" which has not been a factor for some time. Any claim I make now will have me feeling like I will be punished in my next premium for it. It's how insurance works though, and pet insurance is all about preying on the love for your pet, no other provider would be different!

Been with this company for a number of years for my Pet Insurance, I have never made a claim until earlier this year. My renewal was due last month and the premium has doubled from £30 per month to £60 which I think is daylight robbery, I was expecting it to increase a little but double really?

Good evening,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry if your renewal premium is higher than expected. I appreciate it can be frustrating when the premiums increase.

Although the age of your pet is considered when the premiums are generated, it's not the only factor involved.

We also take into account the area you live, the rising cost of veterinary fees and the advancement in veterinary medicine amongst other things.

If you would like to discuss your renewal, or an alternative level of cover, please call our team on 0330 102 5748.

Thank you,
Billie.
