Once you have any claim they fleece you

Once you have any claim, they will ramp up the price every year, talking to them is useless as they offer no discounts once you have had one claim. They just offer silly reasons while ramping up the cost.

In response to the reply, complaint promptly rejected with suspiciously AI sounding message.

Good afternoon Eleanor,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that your renewal premium was not what you were looking for.

As you have made a claim on the policy, this can contribute to a premium increase at renewal. Premiums can increase at renewal for a few reasons. As pets get older, the risk of illness or injury tends to rise, which can affect the cost of cover. If you've made a claim, that can also impact your premium. Additionally, vet fees and treatment costs are rising across the industry, and these increases affect all policyholders — not just individual cases. Our prices are also regularly reviewed to remain competitive, but factors such as government tax changes, increased treatment and medication costs, and overall veterinary inflation have made it necessary to adjust our pricing to stay sustainable.

I can see that a complaint has been raised. You will receive a complaint acknowledgment by email within 5 working days of raising your complaint, and we then have up to 8 weeks to investigate and respond.

Thank you for your continued trust in us. We're happy that you've chosen to remain with us and that Deefer Dog's cover is still in place should it ever be needed.

Kind regards,
Michele.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

I am sorry if you have had a claim recently declined, and if you feel our coverage did not meet your expectations. Our policy wording outlines the details of the cover that we provide. This includes any terms and conditions, and policy limits for each section of cover.

Pre-existing medical is only covered on a policy when it has been declared, and accepted on your confirmation of cover. If we have not been made of any previous medical then there would be no cover for anything directly or indirectly related.

Please reach out at anytime if there is any further assistance that you require by contacting us at info@petgevity.co.uk or calling Customer Services on 03330063211.


Kind regards,
Kayleigh

I’ve had a great experience with this…

I’ve had a great experience with this pet insurer. Some time ago I made my first claim for one of my dogs, and the whole process was incredibly quick, straightforward, and hassle-free. The claim was handled efficiently, and everything was settled much faster than I expected. It’s reassuring to know my pet is covered by a company that makes things so easy when you need them most. I would definitely recommend them.

Can’t recommend Petgevity highly enough

You find out how good your pet insurance is when you need to make a claim. I cannot fault how Petgevity have dealt with my claims. I had to say goodbye to one of my cats, recently and the compassion and professionalism Petgevity showed me, was faultless. They dealt with my claim promptly and without question. I have already recommended them to family and friends

Uncompetitive

Massive price increase. I’ll be looking around for a better deal.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

I am sorry to hear your renewal price is not what you were looking for.

Although our pricing team work hard to keep our prices competitive at renewal, there are factors that can increase the cost. This will partly be down to whether there have been any claims, the age and breed of your pet, along with other things such as rising vet fees and increased underwriting costs.

If you would like to discuss any options to try and reduce the premium, then please call us on 03330063211 or email info@petgevity.co.uk.


Kind regards,
Kayleigh
