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.

Professional and prompt in their dealing with our claim

At a time of utter heartbreak on losing our beloved pet with a sudden illness, our claim was dealt with speedily with thoughtful communication throughout. Would definitely recommend based on our experience.

Disgraceful

I have just read the other reviews. It’s just a roller coaster of misery for customers. It’s nothing short of a scam with a suit on.
The poor paying customer who is aggrieved receives nothing more than a generic email response.
Dreadful organisation. Shop elsewhere or put the premium into a tin and cancel the policy.
Now for the generic email response

Was an easy experience making a claim, just frustrating that my dogs operation wasn’t fully covered and had to pay out a lot of money even though we had good cover.

Claim process good

Have had to make a couple of claims and they are easy to fill out claim forms and received payment quickly with no issues.

Price of plan is good and have been with purely pets a while but obviously once your pet reaches a certain age and you make a claim the plan increases quite a bit and youre stuck if it’s an existing condition as its Not covered with another provider, however this will be the case with most insurance providers .
