Quick support, easy claiming process, online vets and behavioural vet appointments are very useful especially on weekends, when usual vet is unavailable.

Great service, and value.

Easy to use and have been great with our puppers medications, we were expecting a huge increase in our renewal and it really wasn't as much as we anticipated. Claims are processed quickly and withut any hassle.

36% policy increase without claims

If you claim, they pay you fast. But your pet with pre-existing condition will have the price soar like nothing I've seen an insurance do. My pet was born with heart murmur that never changed, and now he is 10+ years. I never made a claim for this particular pet. Suddenly my policy increased 36%. Insanity. Cos not many insurances cover pre-existing conditions they just change whatever they want. I decided to leave them. By the time my pet is 15 I'll be paying them more than my rent.

If you can afford it and don't mind being almost scammed, then the service is easy and pretty good, hence the 2 starts

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that you have chosen to leave us.

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.

We previously requested some additional information so that we could look at your query further, but unfortunately this was not provided. We appreciate the opportunity to have insured your pet and wish you and your furry friend all the very best for the future.

If you need any further assistance, please contact our Customer Service team on 0333 006 3211, and we will be happy to assist and investigate your concerns.

Kind regards,
Michele

Stress-free

Dealt with the claim for Jarvis very efficiently. Easy to supply the requested information. At a stressful time Petgevity made it very straightforward. Cost was fair. Policy price, as expected, has increased this year.
