Heartbroken

I searched for a good insurance company for my 2 dogs and after seeing their reviews I went with the post office insurance group.
13 days after taking out our insurance one of my dogs became really ill so we took her straight to the vets to be told she has lymph nodes cancer and she had to sadly be put to sleep, my baby was only 6yrs old and had never been ill so we were absolutely devastated. I made the claim and thought it was all sorted HOWEVER, we was told the claim had been rejected as you can not claim after 14 days and we claimed 8hrs to early.
I have begged and pleaded that if they could possibly except the claim as when I took it out I had absolutely no idea that 13 days later I would lose my dog, the vet even wrote to them but they still refused and not answering any of my emails and now we have a £900 bill and no help.
I can not believe that 8hrs had made this much impact and they have refused to help with anything, we are truly heartbroken losing my baby girl, stressed because we have to try and find that money and very angry how we have been treated. I will be looking for another insurance company yet again

Pet insurance scam,avoid.

Post office pet insurance is a scam.
After paying 3 years,they refused my claim.You need that your dog to be vaccinated with substances "aproved"by them.
Probably a mix of holly water and virgin blood.As i said,pure scam.

Excessive time to settle my claim.

The online claim was very straightforward, all questions were easily answered including details of present vet AND previous vet. However the claims department failed to communicate with the previous veterinary practice properly so I received several messages and letters saying that the claims department could not get treatment information from my previous veterinary practice. They failed to explain to them that I was a previous client. That vet had no existing treatment information because they, of course, had filed me into Previous Clients. This led to weeks of delays before the claims department paid me. Basically they need staff with a bit of intelligence who don’t just follow the “ procedure “ I won’t recommend them to anyone!
