Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 528 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the simple online portal and the remarkably straightforward process for managing pet insurance policies. Many people are exceptionally happy with the reasonable prices and the quick, efficient payouts covering various veterinary bills. However, some customers also noted unexpected and steep premium increases upon annual policy renewal. A few reviewers were deeply frustrated when claims were denied or when previous minor health notes resulted in strict policy exclusions. Other consumers also mentioned facing minor difficulties and delays when trying to obtain their official paperwork and account documents.

My poor dog unfortunately injured himself and needed xrays and a hip replacement. This insurance company paid immediately and without hassle. I am so grateful for them making this stressful time easier. I would recommend them to everyone.

Terrible

Terrible, honestly the worst. This is the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced and ive spent my entire day stressed on the phone listening to terrible and I mean terrible hold music! Transferred between 3 different people with a wait time of about an hour between each one. Not one of them helped me. All I wanted to do was log into my account because their website is poor and doesn’t let you change your password Theres something wrong with it. My dog is now dangerously uncovered because of their lack of communication and customer service skills and placed a huge strain on my well-being and I will take my money elsewhere tbey also hung up on me after 3 hours of waiting and being transferred Ive screen shorted all my call logs! How RUDE are you. Money else where.

The claim form and some of the communication was a little confusing (I was claiming for a third party behaviourist which wasn't an option on the form), but when I spoke directly to an agent, they were really clear and helpful and everything went through quickly and efficiently. Really happy with the service.

I will never go else where for pet insurance and as soon as my other dogs policy is up she will be moved to these guys. I wasnt very hopeful for them paying out as it was a complex situation but they did. So when they say they will never refuse a claim without reason its true as they could have refused mine but they didnt they helped me get it sorted out. Their customer service is great, on the phone they couldnt have been more helpful. I really did appreciate the help. The 247 pet advice line is very handy. I used these before seeking a vet and they gave great advice.
