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.

Sudden findings of hip dyplacia

Out of the blue my healthy pet suddenly had problems with its hind quarters
Vets4pets gave treatment xrays and medicines,plus said my pet needed further hydrotherapy for about 6 month
My pet had hip displacia. The pdsa did not hesitate to pay the £1500 or for further ongoing hydrotherapy treatment.

Therefore I consider them to be very trustworthy,and meet obligations .

Ripped off

I've been insured with them for 10 years without a single claim my dog needed a brain scan £4,500 pounds I phoned to make sure I was covered they said yes only just,I was insured for life for the maximum of £15,000 pound but unknown to me the insured amount reduced by a thousand pound a year I didn't go ahead with the scan as it would have left me with nothing fot the rest of his life. The yearly renewal came around they trebled my premiums still having not made a claim.then he had more fits so the vets were making a claim on my behalf and they wouldn't pay saying I wasn't insured with them.so I contacted them and they dont insure dog's over ten year's old I told them I was insured for life they said things had changed because a different company had taken over new underwriters I was never informed of any of this untill the vet tried to make a claim for me.I complained and they said i had to start a new policy and gave me a number to ring, after trying for three solid day's to get through they just said we don't insure dog's over ten and put the phone down, that was in April 2021 and I'm in so much debt and it's still getting worse costing me a fortune luckily the vet's have been brilliant with me but its still so wrong

Hello Neil, we are sorry to hear you are unhappy. It appears from your review that it relates to a former Petsurance policy. Your policy used to be PDSA-branded, however your cover is underwritten and administered by a separate insurance provider - Insurance Factory Limited (IFL). We recommend contacting them directly as PDSA Pet Insurance can't take this further on your behalf.

Straightforward and Speedy

The claim form was very easy to complete online and the response was immediate. Within 2 days I received confirmation that the claim had been approved and the money was being sent to my account.

Very impressed with PDSA insurance

Very impressed with PDSA insurance. Our German Shepherd began bleeding from his penis. He was initially treated for an infection, which I claimed for and was reimbursed within a week. The problem continued and he was diagnosed with prostate cysts causing the bleeding. As it was a continuation of the initial illness he needed a scan and medication, all the cost of which was reimbursed directly to the vets so need for me to get receipts, lists of treatments or medication. Again, the vet's bill was approved within days so no hassle for me at all.

Easy claims process and quick response

My claim was easy to do and it was all agreed and paid within days. After such a worrying time with my dog being so poorly it was a huge relief to have the claim settled so quickly. Thank you.

Excellent so far!

Started claiming for an ongoing condition with our greyhound and have to say very impressed!
I take a photo of my vet invoice and within 4 days the money is in my account!
One of the best we have dealt with in our 25 years of owning dogs.
The online portal works great!
Reasonable price too.

Quick and smooth process

My experience with PDSA is very good. I recently had a claim to submit and it didn’t take long for them to give me a response. I made a mistake with the premium so this delayed a bit the process but of course it was my fault! I will definitely stay with them
