Hi Diana,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

It's great to hear that once you spoke with our team, your query was handled politely and helpfully and everything was sorted for you.

We're sorry, however, that you had to wait around 15 minutes to get through and found the information played while you were waiting repetitive. We completely understand how frustrating that can become when you're already waiting to speak with someone, and we appreciate you highlighting it.

We're currently experiencing a particularly busy period on our phone lines and are working hard to reduce our waiting times. We'll also take your comments about the hold messaging on board.

Thank you for choosing Royal Kennel Club Pet Insurance and for your patience.

Best wishes,

Liam

Great Customer Service

It was nice to actually speak to a human. Jenny listened, understood what we were after and did everything that she could to assist us. We believe many companies are losing out on good customer service by turning everything to machines. Kennel Club please continue to have human contact. It’s so important.

All the information was clear

All the information was clear, and concise. The setting up of a new policy was very easy to do.

The prices of each policy were keen in comparison to other organisations and I feel I now have value for money in a good comprehensive insurance cover.
