Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 275 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the support team for being friendly, approachable, and providing genuinely helpful guidance during stressful situations. Policyholders note that veterinary bills and insurance claims are handled remarkably quickly, smoothly, and without unnecessary bureaucratic fuss. Many consumers highlight the great ease of communicating through online chat facilities and speaking directly with polite representatives. However, some customers also noted rapidly increasing policy prices, large annual renewals, and increasingly mounting expenses over long periods. A small group of reviewers additionally experienced unexpected excess charges and substantial percentage contributions when processing their claims.

Curt response and no advice given. Not helpful.

I received a curt reply to the link I used that you are not Pet Plan. Nothing more. I know you’re not!
No questions raised were addressed or advice given.
Absolutely ignorant.

Pet protect is excellent!

Pet protect is such a great insurance company! They’ve never let me down once with my dog. They’ve paid the vets directly and it’s been completely seamless. I have 2 dogs, one is never at the vet, and the other one is always at the vets. Both insured with pet protect and will always be insured with them as will any future pets I have! I highly recommend them!

You weren’t going to pay at first

You weren’t going to pay at first, but the vet emailed you so then you did. Our policy then renewed and so you stopped paying, even though it was clearly the same condition being treated on a weekly basis. You said we had to start again and that we didn’t meet the minimum amount. We both feel that is very unfair and we wouldn’t recommend you to anybody

We really can't fault this insurer

We really can't fault this insurer. The premium was reasonable for the age of our dog and, when we needed to claim recently, they dealt with it swiftly and the money was back in our bank in rapid time.

Had to claim for some recent vet fees after it turns out something he swallowed had caused a blockage, and I was a little surprised that they wanted my dog's full medical history when I already sourced the invoices for the actual treatment received. Seems a bit overkill, but once the claim was submitted, it didn't take long to be approved and subsequently paid into my account, so buy and large it was quite positive.

We appreciate you sharing your experience with us regarding your recent claim. We understand that providing your dog's full medical history might seem extensive, but it necessary to allow us a thorough and accurate assessment of the claim. We're pleased to hear that despite this, the process was ultimately positive and that the claim was approved and paid promptly. Thank you for your feedback. Pet Protect
