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.

Genuine and sympathetic helpdesk agent…

Genuine and sympathetic helpdesk agent - Georgia. We were cut off right at the end of the call and they followed up with an email immediately to apologise, which wasn't necessary, but I really appreciated it, given the upsetting circumstances of my pets condition. We did a direct claim via the vets, paperwork was easy to complete and the agent helped me through it. It was approved without delay and was a weight lifted off my shoulders not having to deal with that during a worrying time.

Helpful but increasingly expensive

If I need to contact Pet Protect they are always courteous and helpful. They have settled claims for me over many years. Now my dog is elderly and fragile, however, and had an operation last year, the cost of the policy has doubled since April 2025. I know there are actuarial reasons for this, but it's made it very difficult to pay on a pension, especially with everything else going up in price. I've had to go onto monthly instead of annual payments. This is why they get 4 stars and not 5.
To be fair, I haven't claimed from other insurance companies and so can't make a comparison.

Unreasonable increase in premiums

The premium was very reasonable at the beginning, of my policy, but has increased by 540% over 6 years, to a whopping £320 per month! I only ever made 1 very small claim in year 2, and I feel the rise in premium is unreasonable. Having shopped around, I have since found more cover for half of what pet protect were offering, hence I ended my policy.
